I’m using Mac. try downloading apps for Mac solely, but yes, there were a couple of times when I got some apps from unknown sources. After that intrusive ads by Candle Jar started blocking the content when I’m browsing online shops particularly. Is it possible my Mac got infected? If yes, since when it’s possible?
What the hell are all these stupid ads by Candle Jar blocking my screen? Since when did Macs get infected with malware??

We have already warned Mac users that Mac OS is getting more vulnerable to malware. Although it's still more secure if compared to Window, downloading freewares to Macs has becoming more and more risky. It's clear that you have installed a freeware that has been involved in the distribution of Candle Jar add-on, which is known as adware. Due to this adware infection, you are forced to see sponsored advertisements. Besides, it also tracks you and performs other potentially dangerous activities.
Thus, you should take needed actions right now and remove it. While to remove Candle Jar virus we would recommend using FortectIntego, to fix Mac you should use the most reliable Mac cleaner. In the article submitted by our team (Candle Jar removal instructions) you can find manual removal guide that explains how to disable this extension from Safari. If you are using it, then that can help. Good luck!
