Well I emailed the guys over at AEC, and Jake (from AEC) Kudos to you.
This is an un official fix so your on your own.
1st remove the Hack from AEC
then you will have to manually edit the comprofiler.html.php
(found in /htdocs/components/com_comprofiler)
replace this line
with this
That will do the trick.
my advice backup your comprofiler.html.php file before you get edit happy.
