Why am I getting Yahoo pop-ups on new iMac?

I just set up my new iMac and I'm getting unwanted Yahoo messages. Is this a feature or do I have a virus/malware?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

What web browser are you using?


If you are using Safari

go to Safari on the menu bar and select Preferences... click on the Search tab and choose a different Search engine.

I ran Malwarebytes before posting and it said my computer was clean. The browser I use is Safari. I found

a reference (by googling) to freeware which includes Yahoo in a bundle, but all my apps were downloaded from the Apple App Store. My Mac was purchased new last week from an Apple Store. I just set it up this past Thursday. I'm wondering if the News or Stocks apps are somehow connected with Yahoo. I can't find Yahoo in my apps or in my library.
