shut down and boot into safe mode

delete the tonic application in your Macintosh HD/Applications folder
if found delete any additional components of the application in
Macintosh HD//Library/Preferences

Try Malwarebytes. There's a free version available.
If that doesn't sort it then download and run EtreCheck, created by one of own colleagues here in ASC. It is a diagnostic tool that's very useful to us in finding problems. It should show us where Mac Tonic is installed. After it runs post the log file here. It will contain no personal information.
It is a PUA (potential unwanted application) developed by PCVARK. You don't need to install any other apps to remove this PUA, please read my blog to remove it manually: Remove Mac Tonic from Mac OS X - SecureMacOS
