Random websites popping up on Safari, help?

Every time I type on the search and I click on a website, another one randomly pops up. It's anything. From stores to blogs. But it just does it every single time.

If I type for example: How to tie your shoelace and the results come out. When I click on any of them, a separate window pops up. Is this a Trojan Horse or something? If so, any safe programs to remove it? Would really appreciate the help. This is on Apple Safari.

    You have installed something that is generating the ads. It could be an Extension found in...

    Safari > Preferences > Extensions

    ....from where you can uninstall it.

    If you cannot find it try AdWare Medic which should find and remove it for you....
