Some one has inserted an extra line in my client’s index.php meta tags
How can that happen?
The client has absolutely no clue on scripting
I personally know all admins at my ISP and no one will do such a thing
So how the following line could have been injected?

I verified and as it is supposed I am the only one with admin and FTP access

The extra line as I discovered it:
<meta http-equiv="pics-label" content="(pics-1.1 &quot;http://www.icra.org/ratingsv02.html&quot; comment &quot;Single file v2.0&quot; l gen true for &quot;http://www.msn.com&quot; r (nz 1 vz 1 lz 1 oz 1 cz 1) &quot;http://www.rsac.org/ratingsv01.html&quot; l gen true for &quot;http://www.msn.com&quot; r (n 0 s 0 v 0 l 0))" />

Any input?

Thanks

Henry

Various exploits can make files writable - does the server have old versions of PhpBB or AWStats installed? Did you use a GUI editor to make the page? Some add meta tags by default...
