    I posted some information in that thread referenced in the post above. Here is an excerpt:

    This is definitely an issue with the WordPress user’s computer. It’s seems that this is some kind of a browser add-on/extension exploit. The WP user (could be you, or any WP user with editing rights – like a client’s website if you are a developer) has an infected computer that injects this crap into anything they edit.

    If you do a search of your WP database(s) using PHPmyAdmin, you’ll no doubt find some remnants of that injected crap floating around in various saved drafts and previous versions of many pages/posts.

    The first part of that is conjecture.

    The second part is fact. I have found numerous instances of that code added to saved versions of pages/posts in a client’s wp database.

    So, the question remains:
    How is unwanted text being added to the wordpress pages/posts.

    My best guess at this time:
    There is some unexpected interaction between the script running in a browser with one of these addons, and the text editor script that wordpress uses to edit pages/posts.

    Any help in tracking this down would be appreciated.
