If this appears in every link, then either you have added "ref" to
config.linkVars, or someone has hacked up your TYPO3 source.

If a page is not cached yet, then there is a small possibility that someone
"injects" strings (not URLs - they are not clickable) into your websites by
adding some test right behind a key listed in config.linkVars (e.g.
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=123&L=1www.visitme.com)

You can prevent this in versions 4.1 and later by modifying the linkVars
parameter to something like: config.linkVars = L(1-3),other_parameters,...

This will cause that the "L" parameter is only added to URLs if it is either
1, 2 or 3. See TSref 4.1 for more details about that.
