Bogus links at bottom

Hi, I have the following text at the bottom of the footer.php file. It is bogus and I don't know how it got there. When I replace it, I get a red bar complaining that the text has been removed. Can you help please? Thanks!

Please return following links to the footer:

I can see in your download that it has the same bogus links!

this happens if you have a free version of the theme. I don't know if smthemes is still alive, they don't respond anymore. But I can help you...
