  I keep seeing that people are clicking on interyield.jmp9.com which seems to be pop-up ads. How do I protect my site from these appearing there?

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

  In one thread we established that if someone has a malware-infected browser and they click on a pop up or text link from that browser, it gets recorded as a click. That could be what’s happening. WP.com does not install pop-up ads as far as I am aware.

  I have a similar issue, with the same link that thevalueofsparrows mentioned. I don’t quite understand yet if this means that my browser is somehow infected or my visitors’?
  Is it possible/ necessary to do anything about it?

  Thanks!

  You had a visitor with an infected browser. There is no threat to your site.

  I have these pop-up ads that have appeared on my site starting two days ago. Its the same company and I keep opting out of them but they keep coming back. What do I do to get rid of them. I have my pop-up blocker activated but it doesn’t do any good. My blogs are orangemarmeladepress and sabinaayne.

  Thanks for any help.
