I suspect you have installed adware/malware:


>System Preferences>Profiles. found next to Accessibility (click into it and then remove all the suspicious things from the list.)


Adware Removal Guide—Manual removal of : http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-identification/

or

Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/


also Verify you are not using SOCKS proxy:

>System Preferences>Networks>Advanced>Proxy uncheck the box


Adware/malware launch daemons can set SOCKS proxies without user participation.

(SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server.)
