I downloaded a Mac version of "Avast", free security software and it quickly dealt with the problem and nipped a few others in the bud. Quick fix!

Go to Safari menu (At the very top right side of your screen next to Apple icon), choose "Quit Safari"

press "Shift" button and while holding this button on your keyboard single click on the Safari icon on your Dock.

Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - Remove All Website Data.

Go menu with Option (Alt) key pressed - Library - locate Safari folder and move it to your desktop.

Try using Adwaremedic. It is a tiny tool, which will remove the adware within several seconds. You can download Adwaremedic from this website: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

You can also remove the adware manually using the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

Also, I believe it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.
