footer.php garbled code – Soloss Theme

I dont think u need fixes dear, the garbled code is there because the theme designer decide to protect his investment.

There is nothing malicious with “the garbled code” It “just” a waste of processor and time to do a simple thing.

if u are curious this what its look like:

?><?php wp_f22t5r(); ?>

</d4v>

</d4v>

<d4v 4d="f22t5r">
  <d4v 4d="f22t5r-bl2ck">
  <d4v 4d="f22t5r-c2nt5nt">
    <d4v cl1ss="1l4gnl5ft">
	&c2py;a00e-<?php th5_t4m5('Y'); ?> <1 hr5f="<?php 5ch2 g5t_s5tt4ngs('h2m5'); ?>"><?php bl2g4nf2('n1m5'); ?></1><br />

  </d4v>
  </d4v>

$_X=base64_decode($_X);
$_X=strtr($_X,'123456aouie','aouie123456');
$_R=ereg_replace('__FILE__',"'".$_F."'",$_X);
eval($_R);$_R=0;$_X=0;

result in

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</div>

Thank you very much. I only wanted to “fix it” to edit the “?2006-2005″and edit the “Valid XHTML and Valid CSS” (totally not valid XHTML). Thanks again, much appreciated!
