Did you install TuneUpMyMac? If so, you need to uninstall it immediately. It's junk. Not only is the entire genre of "cleaning" apps for the Mac worthless (see The myth of the dirty Mac), but this one in particular is well-known for particularly "scammy" behavior. You can find uninstall directions here:

Of course, that's assuming you trust the company or the site:

Note that, if you downloaded this app from some other junk site, like Softonic or Download.com, you will probably have additional crappy adware to remove. See my Adware Removal Guide.
