  There are coupondropdown adds showing up in my blog. They are attaching to my content. How do I prevent this?

  We do occasionally run ads in order to keep free services free. However, I’m not seeing any ads when visiting either http://pneg.info/ or http://pneg.org/

  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:

  You could also try checking your site on another browser or computer – do you still see the ads?

  If you’d like us to look at the ad to confirm whether or not it’s being placed there by WordPress.com, please upload a screenshot to help in troubleshooting.

  Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot, if you’re not sure: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

  You can upload the screenshot in your Media Library on either site so I can see it. Thanks.
