Clickhereand 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 runMalwareBytes 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.

To be fair to the users that get Genieo, Genieo likes to put a giant green Download button banner Ad on a web page that is intended for downloading something else. Because the Ad is so inviting, and the user is expecting to download something, they click it and things go downhill from there.
Because a developer may contract with an Ad company, they do not always get control of what Ads are displayed. Granted, if the developer would have a download page without Ads it would avoid this problem, but there are lots of developers, and it only takes a few.
