Ad videos popping up, words in my posts highlighted with links
-
Today random commercial ads pop up on my blog, also random words in my blogs are highlighted, underlined and have a link connected to them. For example, I used Candy Crush in a post and it highlighted and underlined it, when you click on it you are sent to an ad for the game. This is not fair! What can be done?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are no text link ads and there are no pop-up ads placed by WordPress.com. Then can however appear to you as the result of a browser add-on or toolbar or downloading anything that has adware embedded into it.
All WordPress.com placed ads are easy to identify as this link accompanies them http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/
Any other ads you see are not placed on the blog by WordPress.com. They are coming from a browser extension or toolbar with adware. These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:
