This is not malware, but it could be adware. (There's a subtle difference.) It could also be a problem with your network, such as DNS poisoning or a hacked wireless router. Start troubleshooting here: With regard to some of the replies you've gotten. Although there are no Mac viruses, by the strictest definition of the term, there is Mac malware out there, though it's rare. Bitdefender Virus Scanner finds Mac malware as well as Windows viruses with ease. Scan running apps, scan critical locations, scan a specific location or scan the entire system, the award-winning. Don't get the impression that there's nothing dangerous out there and that you're invulnerable, or you'll end up infected sooner or later. Also, apps like GlimmerBlocker block ads that are supposed to be there. They usually cannot block ads that have been injected into a site by something else, as sounds like is the case with you. If it actually did work to block the ads, you would still have the problem that is causing it, but would just be covering it up. I don't recommend this as a solution. Finally, I strongly recommend against use of apps like AppZapper. They can often remove too little or, worse, too much. Removal of an app should be done properly, using the uninstaller if one is provided by the developer of the app. Uninstalling Chrome would be overkill anyway. The only way that removing Chrome, and all associated files and folders, would help would be if this is being caused by a Chrome extension, and you can remove those easily through Chrome's preferences. You may have installed the 'Genieo' search-hijacking rootkit. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is dishonest, you can't use it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it: /etc/launchd.conf Right-click or control-click the line and select. From the menu bar, paste into the box that opens ( command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open with a file selected, or the file may not exist, in which case you'll get a message that it can't be found. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Then restart, empty the Trash, and continue as below. IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash and restart before continuing. Otherwise the system may become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system. If you're not completely sure you can complete this step, stop here and ask for guidance. Once you have trashed the launchd.conf file and restarted, or verified that the file doesn't exist, quit the Genieo application, if it's running. If necessary. Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way as above: /Applications/Genieo.app /Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib. /usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib There's no need to restart after each one.
