pop up ads everywhere! help!!!!
-
why are their dozen of pop-up adds all over my blog? it happened over night literally. they cover most of the page and creep in from all the edges, and when you click anything it launches a bunch of new windows with horrible adds. I have never seen this before. the adds are even now within my site header. why is this happening? obviously I am not ok with this and will remove all my content and look for another host if this is what wordpress.com is all about. let me know asap so I can make my decision today. thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We do occasionally run ads in order to keep free services free. However, ads of the nature you describe are not permitted in our advertiser’s network.

Please note that it’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were *not* placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.
These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:
