Q: Malware on mac
Hey I was streaming and accidentally clicked something I shouldn't have.
Now every time I try to open a tab or click on a link, I'm bombarded with pop-ups.
The only way I can avoid this is by right clicking and choosing "open in new tab"
I went through all my apps and deleted the one that looked suspicious and emptied the junk folder.
What else can I do to fix this?
I'm running OSX El Capitan version 10.11.1
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010)

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you'd rather not remove it manually, you can instead run MalwareBytes for Mac.
MalwareBytes is a removal tool and doesn't stop adware or other malware from getting onto the computer. To prevent future incidents, avoid downloading software from sources other than the Mac App Store or the developer websites.
