Question

How can I find and remove b.scorecardresearch? I keep getting a message from Kapersky that the certificate is not valid.

I'm not sure what to do about b.scorecardresearch. I can't find it or how to delete it. Neither Kapersky Internet Protection nor Malware Bytes find it as a virus, but I keep getting a popup message from Kapersky that the certificate is not valid, and do I want to trust, etc. I think I would just like to delete the b.scorecardresearch app, add, or whatever it is. Please help me understand....in pretty easy terms :-), please.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
