Virus in blog?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I seem to have picked up a virus while uploading my blog. I uploaded several stories but the last two have key words or phrases highlighted and when clicked on dubious sites such as Asian girls looking for love, come up. This blog is often looked at by children and I can’t have this on my blog. Is it a problem from your end or mine? When I change the wording the highlights pop up elsewhere in the page. I did not download anything while updating the blog page other than photos. I found the ‘saving’ word whirring constantly and when I checked it was constantly saving and I had to delete up to 34 versions of the page i had just uploaded!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    http://clairebeardotme.wordpress.com/ – has no links like you describe

    You probably have a browser problem – you browser is infected with some add on junk – disable all the extensions / add on’s for your browser and enable them one at a time until the ads linked to the words come back – then delete that extension

    All ads here have an “About these ads” link next to them

    Ok, I Accept it must be me and my computer. I just had a look with my laptop and it is not happening there. Guess I have a virus!
    Sorry to trouble you.
