I installed LeechBlock and it stopped Clicksor dead in its tracks. I understand Linux users can modify /etc/hosts and just add "" http://ads.clicksor.com 0.0.0.0 "" and that will also work. You must have root privileges to modify that file. It should point the site to null and do nothing. You can also add the url to your firewall and block it that way also.

Your blog has not been hacked. The ISP is making money via keyword targeted advertising. The only thing you can do is disable JavaScript to stop it from working. This is an interesting form of advertising. View their website for more information. Mr. Russ Cobb President of Inline Internet Systems, Inc.(you might know their product iHTML - www.ihtml.com) wrote a program in iHTML that will do the same thing, while I was in his classroom, for one of the students. It only took him 15 minutes. That shows you how good he is. He just gave the code away to all of us. Go to this page and it will explain how this is working. Your blog has not been hacked.

I keep seeing these highlighted or underlined words everywhere on the internet, in game descriptions and wherever else they can show up, and when I hover over them the link pops up to some advertisement. Maybe it's something with the new firefox update? That's the only update I can think of that I did around the time that these started showing up. Otherwise maybe it's just some hostile takeover of the internet itself lol It’s not just your blog, or any blogs.

Then they replace index.php with the one that reas something like "send $20 to my paypal account and learn how I hacked this blog!" A good hosting company will prevent such hacks, but such things still happen.
