    In the last two weeks I have ads constantly on my dashboard pages – top and bottom – displaying. It says they are “Ads by CouponDropDown.” Would this be a bug on my wordpress platform or something in my personal computer? They do not show up anywhere else except when I log into my wordpress blog to add a new post and/or make changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, I didn’t see these ads when visiting the site. It’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were not placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

    Could you please try turning off all your Chrome extensions temporarily? Here are instructions for doing that:

    Scroll down to the section called “Temporarily disable extensions.”

    If the ads disappear, you can try reactivating the add-ons/extensions one-by-one to find the culprit that’s been inserting the ads.

    Let me know how it goes!
