Step 2

You will have to do this after starting up in Safe Mode to prevent adware

from interfering with the removal of adware .

1. Shut down the computer.

Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound,

press and hold the Shift key.

The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,

but not before the startup sound.

Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen.

Startup will take longer than usual.

Screen flickering is normal in Safe Mode.

Login to your account. Launch Safari.

Enter this address https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/

Download, Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan” button to remove adware, if present.

Once done, quit MalwareBytes.

Step.3

If steps 1 & 2 don't help, please run EtreCheck and post the report here if you can .

https://etrecheck.com

Click “Free Download” button, open Downloads folder, click on it to open, and then select ”Open”.

Click on the bouncing EtreCheck icon in the Dock.

“Choose a problem” from the popup menu box, and then “Start EtreCheck” in the dialog.

Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” .

Paste it into the reply.

I wouldn’t trust it; it looks like malware wanting to infect your Mac. Instead, go to Safari preferences, then go to the Privacy Pane. Choose Manage Website Data, then click Remove All. This will clear your browser’s cache and stop these pop ups from appearing, and will also sign you out from all websites you’ve logged in to. Consider turning on Prevent Cross-Site Tracking as well.

After launching Safari with the shift key held down, if that doesn’t work, disconnect from the Internet, delete the web site from History,open Safari, and then reconnect to the Internet. See link for other suggestions.
