Launch Safari holding the Shift key down and test.
Restart your Mac. On restart Apples built in Malware Removal Tool will come into play.
Malware Removal Tool
Should malware make its way onto a Mac, macOS also includes technology to remediate infections. The Malware Removal Tool (MRT) is an engine in macOS that remediates infections based on updates automatically delivered from Apple (as part of automatic updates of system data files and security updates). MRT removes malware upon receiving updated information, and it continues to check for infections on restart and login. MRT doesn’t automatically reboot the Mac.

Other than the above posted step, a user may need to use a third party app to check for adware.
