You have adware/malware installed. Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions. Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions, uninstall any you don't recognize, and then turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
Safari/Preferences/General - see what the Home Page is set to. If something you don't recognize, see if you can replace it with something you want.
Safari menu/Clear History.
System Preferences and remove any Profiles you see.
