There may also be another issue ~ if your user name/admin name is not Charles Clark.
To troubleshoot generally, see if restart in Safe mode can help; this will check some
system files and do some background repairs. ~ You would have to restart normally
to exit Safe mode. (user password is needed to enter safe mode; not exit it, if your Mac
normally has automatic login.)

There also may be a condition in your Mac where adware or other malcontent, may
be misdirecting your Mac due to visiting fake sites or downloading bad freeware.
