 * I don’t have this plugin installed but get traffic from IP 188.165.32.5 looking
   for this file: ​/wp-content​/plugins​/font-uploader​/font-uploader-free.php
    (
   this is detected using Redirection plugin logging ‘404 not found’ url on my site).
 * Not sure how confident the author is in terms of security but this does not look
   good.

 * Try to check with **Theme Authenticity Checker** ([**TAC**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tac/))
   and also you can search your files easy with [**String locator**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/string-locator/)
   Maybe you’ve installed that plugin(or someone else)and some files remains in 
   your server.
    Be aware if you use plugins like that, because users(that you dont
   know) upload stuff in your website.. Another situation might be an **old vulnerability**
   of this plugin, and some bots hitting your website try to find a hole. You can
   use [**Block Bad Queries**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-bad-queries/)
   to solve a situation like that. It will block any unwanted query from your website.

 * This is not the plugin you’re looking for 🙂
 * **frontend-uploader**, not** font-uploader**.
 * Cheers.
