Getting random pop up screen with request to authorize changes on my Mac that I didn't initiate

I think I might have gotten hacked. I mistakenly opened a link sent to me in FB messenger by one of my friends. Turned out she was hacked. Now I think I might have some kind of malware or spyware because my computer has been acting weird since then. Random screens will pop up from time to time with a request to authorize changes and asks for me to enter my password. Also I noticed that while I am on my computer, a sudden screenshot will take place that I did not initiate. It has happened a few times now. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to stop this and prevent any further invasion of my privacy. I get the sense that someone else is seeing my screen from a remote location. Thanks so much

There are two ways you can try:


Restore your device from backup before you clicked the link. If this will not work you have to reinstall your Mac.

Make sure that you change all passwords on your accounts they may be corrupted.
