how can I force Safari to quit?

The safari application is not responding on my MacBook. A new window won't open and it won't force quit or close using optn+cmd+esc. It won't let me shut down my laptop while safari is still open.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

You may  have adware/malware installed. Try downloading this program which was written by Thomas R, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After running the scans, restart the computer.
