# WPCode plugin automatically installed without permission

 * Why does the wpcode plugin appear in my WordPress installation without me installing
   it? First, it appears in the top administrative bar of my site when I’m logged
   in, indicating an error and it doesn’t appear in the installed plugins area of​​
   the site. When I enter the error, active scripts appear that I have not activated
   or installed. When I delete the snippets the plugin starts to appear in the side
   menu of my wp-admin and starts to appear in the list of installed plugins. I 
   deactivate and uninstall it but the next day there it is again!!!!!! what could
   be happening? How do I resolve this? and many site users sent me screens that,
   when trying to access my site, are redirected to a page with a drawing of a little
   robot telling you to click “allow” if you are not a robot.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwpcode-plugin-automatically-installed-without-permission%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@dzign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dzign/),
 * I’m sorry to hear you ran into that issue. This is not caused by WPCode, we have
   no way to install the plugin on your site automatically.
 * Unfortunately, it sounds like your site has been compromised. I recommend immediately
   changing the passwords of all the administrator accounts on your site and cleaning
   up the site.
 * Here’s a good starting point for what to do in this situation:

 * Let us know if we can help with this issue.
