Hi eyob193,

Try clearing out the cache on your web browser. If you're using Safari, follow these steps:

In the menu bar (at the top of the screen), select Safari -> Preferences.
Select the Privacy tab, then choose Manage Website Data.
Click Remove All.

Also, check that you don't have any malicious extensions installed. If you're using Safari:

In Safari preferences, select the Extensions tab.
Uncheck the boxes for any extensions that you don't recognize, and uninstall them.
