Hello Fammy,

The reason is that your computer is virused.

But, do not despair, there is a solution to your issue.

It comes in two stages.

First:

Download and run this tool calles AdwCleaner created by Xplode

https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Launch the program and click on Remove and for the scan to be completed. You may need to restart the computer after the scan.
Once the removal procedure is complete, a report will be generated.

Second

Download and install Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

Make update (Click on the "Updates" tab and then "Search for updates").
Launch a full scan.
Once the scan is complete, click on "Show results".
Select all detected items and click "Remove Selected". If prompted to restart the PC, accept!

Once these two steps completed, please let me know. We should try to make your system more secure.

Good luck
