Hello! My computer has some mega awful malware. It isn't just Firefox, though. Two days ago Firefox was working perfectly and then my dad may have downloaded a game or something and it now has super annoying pop ups. New windows open up and when I log onto a clothing site for example, mini windows come up and I can't click on the clothing for the site since the pop ups are constantly covering it. Please help!

You can also try running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.
