Unwanted Links on Blog to Ads
-
My blog suddenly has many words that are highlighted in green and underlined twice and link to ads. What can I do to clean up my blog and remove these unwanted ads? I’ve already run a virus scan on my computer and it found nothing and reset my browser. Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We do occasionally run ads in order to keep free services free, however we never run ads of the kind you’re describing. We hate that kind too. :)
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.

Yes, that is very helpful. Thank you! I’m just happy to know it wasn’t some infection or virus in my blog itself :)
