  We do occasionally run ads in order to keep free services free. However, we never run ads of the nature you describe.

  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:

  I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  I don’t think the links you sent address the problem I’m having the ads are not normal wordpress ads – they cover links to my posts on my home site –

  I have a premium site

  here is a shot of them

  

  some are for https://www.leangreengarcinia.com/buy/v2/?

  others for petssmart

  thanks

  The ads are being added by software on your computer, not us. Trust me, it happens to a lot of people. :)

  I don’t think that https://www.dropbox.com/s/6m37jvdqpnfle33/Screenshot%202014-04-19%2020.29.31.png is the screenshot you meant to send, but take a look at this article for removing them: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/09/14/bloggers-beware-of-adware/
