Q: My Safari searches Bing instead of Google, +++

The other day I opened a website (evidently a fake link to a craigslist-like site) that asked me to install a new version of Flash.  I downloaded the file, installed it, and that's when the problems began.

 

Lots of programs (Mac cleanup, etc.) began to run in the background.  I went to Applications and many programs had been installed.  I manually uninstalled them, but something is still going on wrong.

 

I get popup windows.

I noticed that my firewall was turned off (not sure if it was on before)

My Safari searches on Bing instead of Google, even though it's set to Google on Preferences

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
