You inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything else to fix it.
It's quite likely the solution is as simple as this reply from another Discussion:

My option was:
open Finder, enter “helpermcp” in the search item box, you will see two lines, in my case, highlight and drag to trash.
so far it has worked for me.
If that does not immediately resolve the problem for you, then proceed as follows.

Navigate to the following folder, and post its contents in a screenshot:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
To open that folder, copy the entire line above and paste it in the Finder's Go menu > Go to Folder... field. Make it look like this:
... and click the Go button.
A Finder window will open. Take a screenshot showing all that folder's contents, and post it in a reply. To learn how to do that please read the Appendix in the following User Tip: Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question.
Usually, there is nothing in that folder so don't be surprised to find it empty. The reason for starting with that folder is to eliminate other potential causes before proceeding with steps that will identify and eradicate whatever is affecting that Mac.
There will be additional instructions to follow and this is just the first step.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware.
Review your Gatekeeper settings. To learn about Gatekeeper read Safely open apps on your Mac. Gatekeeper is designed to help prevent you from inadvertently installing garbage software.
