Hi there,

Those characters appended to your URL are from AddThis.

Although you do not have our plugin installed, you do have our tools hardcoded on your site:
https://www.screencast.com/t/WLUkY4Sdguy

These characters appended to your URL were designed so you can track click backs to your site from social shares. You can learn more about it here:
https://www.addthis.com/academy/addthis-click-tracking/

To turn this off, all you will have to do is change this code: <script type=”text/javascript”>var addthis_config = {“data_track_addressbar”:true};</script>

And set the data_track_addressbar variable to false like this: <script type=”text/javascript”>var addthis_config = {“data_track_addressbar”:false};</script>

I hope that helps! If you have any questions, feel free to email [email protected].

Thanks,
Leland

@hixaga2, we believe this is a false positive.

Will be submitting a false positive report with Microsoft to get this cleared up.

Thanks for the notice!

Best,
Leland

Hi @hixaga2,

Can you send some screenshots of the notification message? This is the first time we’ve heard of this issue.

Thanks,

@karpiu thank you for your support! Let us know if you ever have any questions ??

Hi there,

The reason why Instagram is not a part of our share tools is because Instagram is imaged base and our tools are primarily used to share web pages. For example, you can’t share a website on Instagram as it requires an image.

I hope that answer your question and please let us know if you need help with anything!

Thanks,
Leland
