unwanted highlighted word links

Just started tonight – all sorts of highlighted word links all over my blogs. Is there any way I can get rid of them? I have Google Chrome browser.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have unwittingly enabled malware on your browser. There’s nothing wrong with your blog, but your browser is infected. Disable ALL plugins and add-ons, then add them back one by one till the highlights reappear. That tells you which one is responsible. Then delete it.

These ads your are seeing 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. Some can get got rid of simply by doing what raincoaster said but there are some persistent ones that need you to go further to delete. These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:
