  Word Ad is running on my site. I did not sign up. How can I find out who signed up my blog site?
  I get them when I’m logged in and working on posts?

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

  Pop up ads began appearing about a week ago while I’m logged in. I need to confirm who requested WordAd for my blog? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  What do you mean by ‘ working on posts ‘?

  In one of the post/edit boxes? What exactly are you seeing?

  I don’t see these, and you are almost certainly seeing something that a plug in or add-on to your browser is adding. Disable them one by one until these ads go away.

  And WordAds does not use Pop-Ups.

  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.

  If what you are seeing whenever you save or update a post or page is an automatically added code/script block at the end of posts and pages that you can’t delete then see here: Malware Targets Macs and Windows PCs http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/10/02/malware-targets-macs-and-windows-pcs/
