Yeah, follow this.

You got this because you installed a certain program and probably forgot to uncheck some options while installing!

You definitely have a virus, if I'm correct the specific type of virus you have is called adware. I would look around the Internet on how to remove these types of viruses. I'm not exactly sure how to remove these, but I'm positive that someone will be able to help you.

Yeah, this happens all the time when downloading free programs (aka freeware). You could use one of the many adware cleaners such as Malwarebytes, JRT (Junk Removal Tool), or AdwCleaner. Some types of adware is harder to remove. Just yesterday I got infected with some adware that has pop ups, video ads, and highlighted text. It's a pain in the ass and I still haven't figured out how to remove it :facepalm:
