Spam ads inserted into photo on my contact page
-
I’ve been blogging with WordPress.com since March 2010 but I’ve never seen this before — spam ads appearing under my photo on my About/Contact page http://citizenactionmonitor.wordpress.com/about/
What’s going on? Anyone else experiencing this? How can I prevent it?
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.com has run ads on our blogs since 2006. Only blogs with annually renewable No-Ads upgrades are advertising free.
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.
