  Then whatever add-on to your browser you’ve enabled that is doing this, take it off.

  Those things are not visible to the rest of the world: it’s just your browser. You added something to it that’s doing this.

  It’s probably some kind of adware on your PC. Have you done any security scans recently?

  Try Malwarebytes or Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Are they text linked words? If so, WordPress does not use text-enhanced ads. As raincoaster said this has come up before and it was caused by browser extension that was installed in the person’s browser. http://wafflesatnoon.com/2011/10/05/seeing-unwanted-text-enhance-ads/

  Please deactivate all browser add-ons and extentions, run a full computer scan, and then log into your blog again without activating any browser add-ons or extensions and see if the links disappear or not.
