Exactly why I started using it. There are plenty of times when I'll just mod a free theme instead of buying one and A LOT of the free themes have malicious code or tricky link cloaking that you wouldn't immediately notice. That plug-in is the first line of defense in keeping your theme from getting screwed and your site from getting penalized in the SERPS.

Glad to pass it on
