Unable to solve Internal Server Error, htaccess

    I have an internal server error on a site that I have been unable to resolve. Any assistance will be appreciated.

    1. A security plugin corrupted the .htaccess file on this and a couple dozen other sites. On all but this one, I was able to fix the problem; sometimes by just replacing the htaccess file (and deleting the plugin). This time, I think the error may have occurred as I was uninstalling the plugin, as it doesn’t appear to have uninstalled completely (DB entries).

    I receive the following error:

    [Fri Feb 14 10:50:55 2014] [alert] [client 66.249.75.189] /home/dtp/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command '3\\.17\\.192\\.151$"', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    I *think* that the invalid command is one of the IP addresses that the plugin had blocked in the htaccess

    I have:

    1. Replaced the htaccess file with a clean one with the default WP code
    2. Deleted all references to the security plugin from the database
    3. Replaced wp-config

    Any ideas?
