Scan your Mac for Malware: 

Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
• Malwarebytes Uninstaller

"Malware/ gsecurecontent: Thank you for your prompt response. I tried it and it found three malware files. I hope it is fully fine by now. Thanks."

Empty the Quarantine:

You are welcome. Be sure you permanently empty the quarantine (where found items are stored). Once deleted, create a backup of your Mac. That way you will have something to restore your Mac from, if need be.

" Malware/ gsecurecontent: So these Gsecurecontent pop-ups is coming for about less than a week now. At first I though it was normal but then it started getting worse and now my mac is always heated and the fan is on max mode![...]I would be really thankful if anyone could help. I am getting a little bit stressed out and I can't afford a new laptop :("

If Malwarebytes does not work...

• Restore from a Backup: 

Have you recently created a backup of your Mac prior to all of this? if so, restore from the backup. If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always backup your Mac, prior making any major change to your device, such as an application installation.

• Use a Laptop Cooler:

If your fans are spinning, then place the laptop atop a laptop cooler while performing the restore.
