the_excerpt is echoing 'https://wwww.www.ads-software.com'

I am running into the same issue. The link is a single unordered list item. It goes away if I deactivate the plugin but I’d rather not have to do that.

@mobilemindtech thank god (?) i thought I was going mad…

It’s somehow related to the UAN ads network, if the data returned from that service is corrupt then you get that effect intermittently. If you turn UAN off in the Advanced settings tab then the problem should go away.

That did the trick, thanks! I thought I had UAN turned off. Maybe it was set back to ON by default with the last plugin update.

Same issue here and solved when disabling the UAN.
To be noted though that the issue only appeared on a multisite installation and not at a standard one.

Same issue here on several no-multisites.
Thanks @chrisl27 for the hint.
cheers
