I have obtained an advertising virus on my macbook air called safekeep and it creates numerous pop-ups when I use the internet regardless of the site or browser. I have unistalled and deleted it from my finder but it didn't go away

I have downloaded different browsers thinking that I could escape it but nothing has worked. I was wondering if anyone else has had a run-in with this?

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions, including any with the name "RightCoupon," "SaveKeep," or similar. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
2. In the Applications folder, there may be an item with the name "SaveKeeper" or similar. Move it to the Trash and empty. If you get a warning that the item is in use, force it to quit, then try again.
