  Need to know what can be done to remove this, since ads are popping up which I do not want, since I’ve just started my blog and don’t want to lose any followers because of adware.

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

  What is the page URL where you are seeing this happen?

  Have you scanned your own computer for adware recently?

  This is happening on my home page itself, when I click on the “Podcasts” tab: https://creakycupboard.wordpress.com/

  When i click on the image that I have set up for a link to another profile of mine on this site called Spreaker (http://www.spreaker.com/user/7666069) which is legit, an ad pops up and doesn’t allow me to see the actual content at the above mentioned URL.

  This is happening across mobile and PC platforms of which I have been informed by a couple of people who visited my site.

  I have scanned my computer for adware just yesterday and it has happened over not just my system, but from different regions in my country (India) across different systems (as reported to me).

  That has nothing to do with us, I’m afraid. If they are not from adware on your system, I would encourage you to talk to Spreaker.com’s support staff. As the ads you are reporting are not coming from our side. It sounds like they are loading after you attempt to go to their site.
