Hi omacac,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble with Malware on your Mac. I’m happy to help. To start, I suggest reviewing the following articles:

Protect your Mac from malware - Apple Support

How to block pop-ups in Safari - Apple Support

If that doesn’t help, you might want to try running Malwarebytes.

Take care.
