It's not a virus. You installed it, which makes it a Trojan. The likely sources are a fake Flash popup you responded to, or you downloaded and installed software which included adware.


Download and run MalwareBytes for Mac. It's free to use and easily uninstalled from its menu option when you're done with it.
