Oh no! ):

I think you picked that up from the adfly with that download, but it's understandable. It can be a little hard to navigate and it does happen.
Firstly, what's your computer, a windows 10, mac, chromebook? If you have a windows you should have windows security and should allow you to run a virus scan. If not, I highly suggest malawarebytes as a good software.
Again, I'm really sorry that this happened to you

Yikes! Similar to what Birdie said, make sure to get/have an antivirus program. That should help you get rid of the adware.

McAfee will do, just run the scan if it's all set up. I also suggest clearing your browser data.

If you enabled ads or notifications too, make sure to go on your chrome settings and block adfly notifications ,  you can easily click on one of those notification pop up ads (happened to me)

No it makes sense! Yes, turning off notifications should stop giving your device those pop-ups
