So, its solved, but you may want to add that those could be found too in the program control panel not only as addons in a browser.

I'll make a note of that for future reference. Thank you!

The time you said it was not wordpress I checked out with my phone and -yep- no ads browsing from there, so I run my computer manually and I found the problem. It was one of the names listed in the second link.
So, its solved, but you may want to add that those could be found too in the program control panel not only as addons in a browser.

But, from what it sounds like, those ads are not placed on your site by WordPress.com. They are being placed there by software on your own computer. Ads on WordPress.com do not have any text saying "ads not by this site" or "ads by browser". If you could take a screenshot of the *entire* ad, that will be most helpful.

Also, please visit the sites I linked to above for additional information and for tips on eliminating these ads.

I posted the screenshoot as I was asked to do, they're the regular ads appearing on top and botton of the site, and they do not say 'ads not by this site'
The exact sentence is part of the ad, saying 'ads by browser'. The first thing I tried was another browser, checked the addons and else, nothing changed.
If there's a posibility of something in my comp doing that, any lid would be helpful, as I didnt find anything when I scanned it.

That will make the ad wider and push the sidebar down.

This started happening since about 6 days I think. When my blog is loaded, but not done loading, the sidebar is visible where it's supposed to be. But when my blog is finished loading I see a "ads not by this site" and the whole thing gets shoved to the bottom of my last post.
I have tried limiting how many posts are visible per page, to hopefully identify which post is the one that may be causing this, and it turns out it's all of them, so I don't think that's it. I use the Kubrick theme and all my images are 450px wide, which is okay since it's not exceeding.
I have tried looking for Div tags and more tags as mentioned in many other forum posts, but have found none. This has become really frustrating and would love for someone to point out an alternative solution, since I have been searching for days for one.

Thank you again for reading.

Below is a link to the screenshot. I'm led to believe that it's not a browser extension/add-on because of the placement of the ad in the lower-right of the blog. What are your thoughts?

To be certain, please turn off all browser extensions/add-ons and look at the site again. If the ads are gone, try turning extensions back on one-by-one until you find the culprit that's causing the ads to display.

If that doesn't work could you please upload a screenshot of a few of the ads 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 and then post a link so I can see it.

Thanks.

What's disturbing is that this is a corporate site and it contained an ad that was not so appropriate. Luckily, our consultant saw the ad and hopefully no one else. We need to have this resolved as soon as possible to prevent that from happening again.

I appreciate your help with this.
