   Strange new issue. I'm finding textual links in my blog posts that I did not put there. They look fishy. Orange with double lines beneath the words. When I click the link, my security program blocks the site.

   I'm now seeing this strange links even in the WP Help and Support sections. Any idea what is going on?

   The blog I need help with is rangewriter.wordpress.com.
