get rid of safari virus: "Please install Media Player to Continue" pop up

I got some kind of Safari virus with crazy pop ups every time you go to any link. Tried clearing history and restarting after a force quit, but still have the problem. Help please?

Take a look at any extensions installed for your Safari browser. Click the Preferences menu item and then click the Extensions tab -- see anything there that looks suspicious? Remove it and see if that works. You might need to use MalwareBytes software -- they have a free download at https://www.malwarebytes.com


Good luck...
