There are fake Flash Player installs all over the net. Malware hides in the downloads and you'd never know it's there until too late. Only download Flash Player updates from within System Preferences > Flash Player or from the Official Adobe Website.
Download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC. It gets rave reviews and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.

Do not download any anti-virus software from the Mac App Store, especially Adware Doctor. Most of the programs in that category there are scams, and those that aren't scams are extremely limited due to the requirements of the App Store. There's a lot of stuff they will never be able to detect or remove.
Malwarebytes for Mac is not available there, you have to download it from the Malwarebytes website.

Uninstall Adware Doctor.
I found it easier to call apple and talk with a specialist. So I have it all fixed now. Thanks for your help.
