It is not definitely malware.

At least, not in the sense it's intended for malicious reasons...

In the case you are using cpanel and you have used its IP Deny Manager to block access to 212.92.53.18 then this will automatically be written to your .htaccess file with the intended purpose of blocking that IP (and any others you may wish to enter):

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow, deny
allow from all
</Files>

deny from 212.92.53.18

Do you use cpanel and if so, do you remember doing that?
