Your Mac seems to be infected with malware: a browser hijacker called Yahoo Redirect. By visiting some website or/and installing some apps, you might have also unintentionally side-installed this browser hijacker.



You can search for Malware apps that help "clean" your computer, one such one is Malwarebytes.
