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.

You might try going in to applications>utility>termi nal 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.

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.
