Got a malware on OS X Yosemite, how do I get rid of it?

I have some kind of malware present on my MacBook Pro, mid 2014 with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10, from trying to download a "flash player". I get full page pop-up ads for "mackeeper" and the like nearly every time I click on a link, have annoying ads on pages that I know weren't there before I downloaded this "program", and am now seeing other pop-up ads. As soon as I downloaded this program, my search engine changed to "Conduit", if this info helps.What can I do to get rid of this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
