Hi Community,
Recently on my '13 MacBook Air, Mojave 10.14.3, Google Chrome, I've experienced pop-up ads & banners on various websites. Can you please help me diagnose & remove the malware, please? Thank you!

I received an alert telling me that my Java was outdated. I thought it was legit, but ever since then I have experienced the adware popups/banners. Could this be the source? Will Java prompt mac users to update software, or did I fall for a virus?
Thank you for your reply. Is there anything else I can do that doesn't require a paid service? Can I run diagnostics myself? These ads were not an issue until recently. I am afraid that I have something injected into my system. Thank you.
Nothing in your screen shots indicate malware. However, you can run Malwarebytes to find any you may have installed.

Malwarebytes is free for 14 days and after that you can still use it with less features.
