I disabled it and restarted and no more adslime snail tracks all over my golden prose.

Thanks again to the fire(wo)men who rushed to help.

If you don't find anything there, run security scans for Adware or other Malware.

WordPress.com does not use text enhance or text link ads or pop-up ads or links in comments. So far everyone who has reported this has had a browser-add-on or browser extension that causes it. In some cases it was embedded into free games they downloaded from the internet. In others it was in toolbars and shopping apps.

For some reason my blog now has some kind of horrid URL-like underscores and colorization trying to direct me to commercial vendors and other sites. I do not want this!!!! Please tell me how to stop this immediately. This completely ruins my WordPress experience.
