You installed the "VidX" trojan, perhaps under a different name. To remove it, first open the Applications folder by selecting

Go ▹ Applications

from the Finder menu bar, or by pressing the key combination shift-command-A. Look for an item named "VidX," "MacVx," or similar. If present, drag it to the Trash and empty.

From the Safari menu bar, select

Safari Preferences... Extensions

Uninstall any extension you don't know you need. If in doubt, remove all of them. You may well have more than one that's adware or spyware.
