Ads with paid version

Could someone tell me why today I am getting reports and have seen for my self ads on my blog. I have the paid for premium version? This is not set to expire until July. I was unsure the location for this post. Thanks for any help that you might provide.

Those ads aren’t from us, note the “By FVD Downloader Product Search” above the ad. When they’re from us, it will say “Ads by This Site” with a link to our ad policy.
Please note that 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.
These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:

I am sure you are correct. I am sorry I was not thinking. Someone told me this then today I seen one. I installed a extension in firefox to download flash video’s. I am sure this is creating the ads now that you mention it.

No worries, personally I really hate how many extensions lately are just injecting ads on top of other folks’ sites.
I know they need to make money for their free extensions, but there has to be a better way than borrowing someone else’s billboard space.

Yeah, It was a temporary thing to Dl a news cast I was in. Forgot to remove it. As soon as you mentioned that i was like crap. I don’t remember it being stated in fine details but I am sure it was their.

Don’t be sure. A lot of these bundled spamware things don’t actually tell you they’re there.

Yeah, it’s in their best interest to stuff such info somewhere around page 5 of their installation agreement. :)
