Sometimes the bug was installed as part of a toolbar. Security scans can usually find it.

Have those who told you this disabled all of their browser add-ons and extensions?

So fare everyone who has reporeted this has had a browser-add-on or browser extension that causes it. In some cases it was enbedded into free games they downlaoded from the internet.

When other people open my blog, certain words appear highlighted and underlined such as "relationship" and they have somehow been made into hyperlinks to sites like Match.com.

I didn't set these up or give anyone access to my site. Is this something WordPress allows advertisers to do? Is it a security breach I can fix on the dashboard and if so, how? Or, is this a bigger security issue I need to report to WordPress.

Answers and suggestions most welcome. Thank you.
