Possible Malware on my MacBook Air

I was trying to stream movies from a few sites, and now my browsers (both Google Chrome and Safari) appear to be hi-jacked.  I downloaded Sophos Cloud AV in an attempt to remove the threats, but could not unfortunately.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully this will help: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435

In our environment before we had implemented Sophos AV onto our Apple Devices (iMac and MacBook pros) we used an application called ClamXav to remove infections from the devices. I can only remember some strange activity on the iMac which is very similar to your situation but ClamXav helped clear it.

You might try going in to applications>utility>terminal and type:

lsof -i | grep ESTABLISHED

This will show you a list of all the connected applications and the ports their running on.

Easy way to tell whats running in the background.
