random characters after my wordpress url

    Ok, so just a couple of days ago, i noticed that there were extra characters after my url. I thought it may have had something to do with my permalink settings so i changed that but that seemed to do nothing. The link structure looks very much like the default permalinks but instead of a ?p= it has ?v=.

    I’ve looked everywhere for a solution but all i can find is people saying it’s the addthis plugin of which i’ve never even heard let alone have installed. This issue has simply just appeared which is concerning to say the least as i did have my last version of this site hacked with random casino links but since rebuilding, i’ve hardened my site to the best of my abilities.

    I’ve tried disabling all plugins which didn’t change a thing.

    So it’s definitely not the addthis plugin and it’s just started within the last couple of days (couldn’t say when to be sure).

    Please somebody help as this is frying my brain!!!

    Thanks

    Neil

    That site is not hosted by wordpress.COM and we do not provide support for it here.

    We provide support only for blogs hosted by wordpress.COM. We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs. You are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
