Safari Malware / pop-up tabs

I've had this problem since I accessed some non-secure websites about a month ago... multiple times an hour new tabs will open randomly, so much so that in the time it took me to write this all

Also, I have the ever-annoying GoSearch malware that comes back every once in a while... each time I get rid of it but I was wondering if anyone knows a definitive way to do so? I've analysed LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemon but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

help please :(
