  I discovered that advertisers have created unwanted hyperlinks on my page on words in my blog. How do I get rid of them?

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

  Probably a rogue add-on in your browser. Try disabling any you have installed.

  unwanted hyperlinks on my page on words in my blog. How do I get rid of them?

  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 and/or toolbars downloaded from the internet.

  See here and know that disabling browser add-ons does not always succeed. Other measures are required and that’s why I published the details here Bloggers: Beware of Adware. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/

  Thank you to timethief and notawoodpecker. You’re right that this turned out to be a browser problem. I did some purging and think I was able to take care of the problem – at least for now.

  Appreciate the responses!
