I'm seeing a bunch of random words in posts come up as hyperlinks saying Added by VigLink?

i went to their homepage and they'd left a message stating (paraphrased) "we've selected your page for inclusion of a protocol based on your traffic and metrics".... well, i shut that mess down.  

i can't do anything about the links they've already installed (they link words found in content to sites that pay for clicks, and give site owners a portion of the commission), but i can dramatically limit what they do in the future (and have already). 

apologies for the situation... i should have read the fine print.

Ha no worries, not a big deal at all.  At first I thought it was copied in from something I had copy and pasted, then realized it was in my new posts too.
