 * Hey [@agirlinla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agirlinla/), So the VigLink
   script is definitely on your website still. Are you running CloudFlare at all?
   If you disabled the VigLink plugin it would have removed it from your site. But
   it is your Key being used by the javascript so that’s good. I will be emailing
   you directly if you do want to remove VigLink, but rest assured, our plugin is
   not the cause of the malware.
 * I did run GTMetrix and Lighthouse audits on your site and did not see the moatads
   or those others. Was there a specific page you ran GTMetrix on that showed you
   those results.
 * First thing I would do it change passwords for everything that would connect 
   to your site, cpanel, the wordpress login, and check what other users might have
   access. Also, run a virus/malware check on your personal computer as well, as
   it sounds like you may be infected with some malware.

 * Are you using CloudFlare? There is a plugin on CloudFlare for VigLink. You may
   have to turn it off their if you do. Otherwise, there are no other VigLink maintained
   plugins that would install VigLink on your site.
 * I would start by turning off plugins one by one to see if any are running it.

 * Hey, usera. I’m from VigLink. Who’s your DNS provider? We’re not aware of anyone
   using us in that way. Curious to see what they’re doing, exactly.
 * Thanks!
