Pop up Related Searches are irritating and distracting
-
I don’t know if anybody else finds the recent changes to our reading experience on WP as annoying as I do – constantly adverts pop up on the right hand side of the screen, some with sound, which makes it even worse and just when I’m trying to read somebody’s excellent blog an even more annoying WP pop-up screen appears on the left-hand side telling me what related searches I should try. I would simply like to be left alone to read without constant interference by WP, thank you very much. This is not helpful in the slightest and was a terrible WP idea.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are no text link ads and there are no pop-up ads placed by WordPress.com. Then can however appear to you as the result of a browser add-on or toolbar or downloading anything that has adware embedded into it.
All WordPress.com placed ads are easy to identify as this link accompanies them http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/
Any other ads you see are not placed on the blog by WordPress.com. They are coming from a browser extension or toolbar. These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads: http://www.littletechiethings.com/2012/06/how-to-remove-ads-not-by-this-site.html http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/14/ads-on-wikipedia-your-computer-infected-malware/ http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/
If you use the information at the sites I linked to and still see ads please post screenshot http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ Upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it. Then type modlook into the sidebar.
