press "Shift" button and while holding this button on your keyboard single click on the Safari icon on your Dock.
Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - Remove All Website Data.
Go menu with Option (Alt) key pressed - Library - locate Safari folder and move it to your desktop.Try using Adwaremedic. It is a tiny tool, which will remove the adware within several seconds. You can download Adwaremedic from this website: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
You can also remove the adware manually using the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987
Also, I believe it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.
