I had this problem when first looking for Free Wordpress templates, you would get them all with encrypted footers. Now I dont know about you but I dont trust things like that. I understand that some of them would be to protect their links, but its still easy enough to remove them.

Thats why I only download wp themes from trusted site. Even then, I always take a quick look at the code to make sure there isnt anything that isnt supposed to be there.

I recently installed WordPress on my site and had someone hack it and I don’t know how. I did download a theme and it didn’t happen until sometime after I installed it, so this very well might be it. Thanks for pointing this out I’m glad I stumbled upon this post.
