  These are scam pop-ups. 


  Force Quit Safari.

  "Press these three keys together: Option, Command, and Esc (Escape)

  Or choose Force Quit from the Apple () menu in the upper-left corner of your screen.

  Select the app in the Force Quit window, then click Force Quit"

  Launch Safari holding the shift key down.
