Unwanted Pop Ups, Trojan

Hi,

i need help to remove some kind of Virus or pop ups, requesting Flash Player to upgrade and Mac AntiVirus to scan my Mac.


Whenever I start a new website, a new window is open and directly goes into some link as below

Popups


1. Click  menu in the menu bar, hold the  shift key on the keyboard down

and choose “Force Quit Safari” from the dropdown.

    Safari will quit.

    Launch Safari holding the shift key down.


2. Pop-ups and ads in Safari

Quoting:

   " If you see an annoying pop-up in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL

or search term to browse to a new site.

    If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.

    Some popups and ads have fake buttons that resemble the close button,

so use caution if you try to close a  pop-up or ad. 

    If you're unsure, avoid interacting with the popup or ad and close the Safari window or tab."
