The problems are due to adware.


Download and run Malwarebyyes Anti-Malware for Mac formerly known as AdwareMedic. It's free.


Make sure Mac App Store and identified developers is selected in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General


If you would rather not download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you can remove the malware manually following the instructions here > Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
