Unwanted 3rd Party Widget/Ad on my Blog
-
There is an unwanted widget on my blog called “Recommended For You”, “We Recommend”, “Around The Web” and something in a completely foreign language. It’s shows 8 posts obviously not my site but instead from a site called TopTipNews. I have no idea why this happening. Will you please look into it ASAP?

I don’t see such an ad.
