"If you have an immediate problem with ads popping up see the Mac without danger" Adware Removal Guide, remove the advertising software that shows ads advertising and graphics on your Macand MalwareBytes for Mac. If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.

Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

Quit Safari

Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

Relaunch Safari

If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    You have no adware/malware, not based on the screenshots.  Looks like you are describing a browser hijacker.  To get rid of him, Force Quit Safari (-> force quit-> Safari), then restart Safari in Mode safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key.  This prevents previously open tabs/windows to reopen.  If that still doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, then go to Safari-> clear history.  This will remove your complete browsing history.  Reconnect to the Internet, then quit Safari normally and it starts normally.  Always make this pop-up?

    In the future, to prevent hackers to support browser Safari (or), avoid the following types of sites:

    • XXX sites
    • torrent sites
    • Group download sites (CNET, download (dot) com, Softpedia, MacUpdate, Softonic, etc..)
    • MP3 download sites (Mp3 Skull, mp3monkey, etc.)
    • any site that says you can do or download something for free that you would otherwise cost money

    Mac software advertising cleaner made by people who make advanced Mac Cleaner, which is an unwanted application that is often distributed with adware. (Hmm, ironic, huh... they sneak with adware and then show you the pop - ups to help you get rid of the adware they rode in with.) The pop-up you see is caused by the Advanced Mac Cleaner, which probably means that you also have another type of adware on your system.

    Suggestion of Allan will help you remove Advanced Mac Cleaner and some adware was installed alongside it.

    You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.

    Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

    Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

    Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.

    Also, I think it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.

    What should I do if ads and pop ups don't stop posting on my safari and google chrome, I have the latest update of os x el capitan, most of them come on an empty space of OS im page he says by TurboMac and sometimes it redirect me to another page like mackeeper

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if you do not delete rather manually the adware, launches MalwareBytes for Mac.

    MalwareBytes simplifies the process of removal of adware, but does not stop it or other malware from entering the computer. It should not be invoked to prevent future incidents; Instead, avoid downloading software from sources other than the Mac App Store or Developer Web sites.
