I downloaded some .rar files a few hours ago and whenever I try to open them, a "QMindMap" Pop-Up ad appears, I really don't know why and this has never happened to me before, does anyone know how to stop it?
I'm not sure if it's some type of malware that manage to slip in, what exactly do I need to do to get rid of the ads?
1. Use MalwareBytes for Mac to remove malware.

QMindMap is an app from the same developer.
