  Why have double-underscored ad links started showing up suddenly? It’s really confusing for my readers, especially since I use links extensively and a person who is not internet savvy might not understand the difference.

  I’ve used this for years with no problems, but these have just started showing up today. Really upsetting.

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

  Can you show me a post where you are seeing these?

  I am not seeing any of those links on your site. Typically, this means that you have a sypware or adware infection in your browser.

  Thanks, you’re right.

  The Google Chrome browser on one of our computers is infected with Playtopus.

  Darn.

  Grateful for your help.

  Sorry I didn’t have better news, malware is annoying.

  However, glad I could help.
