Hi Pizwizx1,


Force Quit Safari by pressing  Command + Option + Esc keys and select safari and press Force Quit.


Then restart Safari holding the Shift key. 


Then Empty the Caches 


Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. (This will also remove all history)


 If you dont want to remove the History


 Safari Preferences > Advanced 


Check mark the Show Develop Menu then choose Empty Caches from Develop Menu .


 

Go to the Safari menu > Preferences... > Extensions. If you see any Extensions that you do not recognise or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.


Go to the Safari menu > Preferences... > Security, and ensure that Safari blocks both fraudulent websites and popups.


Then download and run Malwarebytes Anti Malware For Mac using the link provided 


https://www.malwarebytes.com


If the problem persists contact Apple Support

Hope that helps, have a nice day.
