Hi,
Force Quit Safari ( command + option + esc keys). Then restart Safari holding the Shift key. Then Empty the Caches (Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. (This will also remove history if you do not want to remove History open Safari Preferences > Advanced and check mark “Show Develop Menu” then choose “Empty Caches” from Develop Menu ).
Then go to Safari Preferences > Extensions and check there. If there is an extension delete it.
Download and run Malwarebytes

Avoid opening or downloading items from email messages and websites unless you are certain that they come from a legitimate, trusted source. If you’re uncertain about the source, delete the item.
Hope that helps and have a nice day
