since upgrading my macbook pro to 10.12.6 last year, I have had some kind of malware that opens new tabs in my chrome browser, sometimes amazon, sometimes a tab that says flash player is out of date, or that I have a virus. PLEASE help me eradicate this most annoying problem! THX.

Thanks! used the first option and no popup!!!
Afaik, chrome browser (NOT my favorite) demands another version of FlashPlayer, or no Flashplayer at all.
Uninstall Flashplayer in Settings->Flashplayer.
