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. It shouldn’t be relied on to prevent future incidents; instead, avoid downloading software from sources other than the Mac App Store or the developer websites. If you see a prompt to update Flash, go to Adobe’s website or the Flash Player pane of System Preferences instead of downloading it from the popup.
