  Hi guys
  When I log on to my profile page – the one where one can change your username, e-mail and all that – a bar comes up across the top of the page.
  It asks for donations and also has a large ‘X’ on the far right-hand side. When I click on the ‘X’ nothing happens – it does not go away.
  Also, when I click on the ‘link’ to donate nothing happens either.
  The bar also prohibits me from editing anything on the page.

  Has anyone dealt with this before, or does anyone know how I can remove the bar?

  Thanks very much

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

  You have a malware issue. See here: Bloggers: Beware of Adware. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/

  WordPress.com does not use text enhance or text link ads or pop-up ads or links in comments. If you are seeing those then that’s a browser-ad-on issue, or in some cases, it’s embedded into free games downloaded from the internet.
