    Disable your browser add-ons. One of them is adding these things, which are spam ad links. Then re-add them one by one till the links show up again. That tells you which add-on is responsible. Delete it for good.

    Please also 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. WordPress.com does not use text enhance or text link ads or pop-up ads or links in comments.
