Whatever is wrong with your Mac it's not a virus, and pursuing an "anti-virus" solution will lead to misery.

Install nothing until you identify the problem. Whatever you do, do not install MacKeeper, or anything like it, ever.

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
