  Unlinked links to a web site called Play Sushi or Sushi Games or something like that are showing up in my posts. I DO NOT want these links in my posts and don’t want people to be confused by them.

  Please let me know how to get rid of them, and/or where they came from in the first place!

  Thanks!

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

  Are you aware that wordpress.com does run Google Adsense advertising on our blogs and could this be what you are seeing? http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2006/09/06/on-ads/

  Hi,

  No this wasn’t Google Adsense, it was something called Play Sushi, and it was a program that appears to have gotten installed on my computer. I think I’ve uninstalled it, and I’m assuming that it was something related to the games my kids play on my laptop. :(

  Thanks!

  You’re welcome and best wishes with the blog, the kids and the gaming. Unsolicited advice: get a second hand computer for the kids and don’t let them near yours – password protect it so they cannot use it.
