 * i ran malware scan,
 * it then said it found malicious code in th .htaccess file
 * Line 51: setcookie
 * Line 52: setcookie
 * Line 148: base64_decode
 * May be used to obfuscate and hinder detection of malicious code. Pairing with
   eval function indicates malicious code.
 * i looked at the .htaccess file and that coe wasnt even in the file, there is 
   no line 148 in .htaccess file, so why is this, where is this malicious code or
   is it a error.

 * Please check that twice because those lines are from a typical PHP file, not 
   a normal .htaccess file.
