A persistent "widdit" loader is normally either a client-side extension/agent or a server-side injected third‑party script. was right to suspect a third‑party app or ad include, and ’s suggestion to test with addons disabled is a quick first check. Recommended diagnostics: open the page in a different browser or device (incognito), view page source and search for the string "widdit", and use DevTools -> Network to capture the exact request URL and host that is loading the widget.

Server-side checks that commonly find injected includes:

grep -Rin "widdit" /home/username/public_html
find /home/username/public_html -type f -mtime -30 -ls

On Windows/PowerShell:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern "widdit"

Locate any script tags or external URLs returned by those resources; the request host will identify whether the resource comes from the site, a CDN, or a third party.

Remediation notes tied to likely causes: if files are modified or an unknown include is present, restore from a clean backup, rotate FTP/DB/admin passwords, remove unknown admin users, inspect and clean .htaccess, and update core/CMS/plugins. If a plugin or ad provider is the source, disable/remove it and purge caches (server, CDN, plugin caches). Collect server access logs to time the change and identify the uploader or IP.

If the issue is client-side on one machine, disable browser extensions and run an up-to-date anti‑malware scan; if multiple devices are affected, check router DNS and ISP caching. A HAR or full network trace is useful for outside help but avoid posting credentials or full cookie/header dumps in public. posted official removal guidance in this thread; combine that vendor guidance with the server/client checks above for a complete resolution.

do you have any advertising?
I can't see how the hell you've got it unless you've uploaded it/coded it or you've given space to a 3rd party app.

i have no idea...iv'e gone trough every files included too.
But maybe it will sort out, or maybe its sort of an browser addon?

Try another browser or use same browser with all addons disabled
