hi guys i need help... i think my macbook air been infected by malwares.

not too long ago i kena the mackeeper thing. now whenever i use google chrome, sometimes will auto open new tab which is the mackeeper ad.... sometimes my chrome will just shut down by itself.

also now when i view some videos online, when i stopped moving the mouse cursor, the screen will be kinda like split up or a white screen will take up 90% of the screen. when i move the mouse the normal screen comes back, but when i stop moving for like 1-2 secs the screen is screwed again.
