How do I locate the source of a game virus?

I'm trying to build a game and every time I go into studio, EVERY instance, whether it be part, seat, or script, has a child who's classname is RotateP. And every RotateP is named a random name (I'll get to that in a second). Every RotateP in every instance in my game also has a script named "ProperGråmmerNeededInPhilosiphalLocations;insertNoobHere".

To solve this, I run a recursion that is as follows:

01Containers = {"Folder", "Model"}
02 
03DangerousInstances = {"Script", "RotateP", "LocalScript", "Fire", "Smoke"}
04 
05function CheckDangerousInstances(instance)
06    for i, v in pairs(DangerousInstances) do
07        if instance:IsA(v) then
08            return true
09        end
10    end
11    return false
12end
13 
14function CheckContainers(instance)
15    for i, v in pairs(Containers) do
16        if instance:IsA(v) then
17            return true
18        end
19    end
20    return false
21end
22 
23function Recursion(Model)
24    for i, v in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
25        if CheckContainers(v) then
26            Recursion(v)
27        elseif v:IsA("BasePart") then
28            Recursion(v)
29        elseif CheckDangerousInstances(v) then
30            v:Destroy()
31        end
32    end
33end

Basically it deletes all scripts, rotatep's, fires, and smokes. However, the virus is back once I save and exit and then reopen studio. I can't find the source of it in my game.

Extra info: The only free models I'm using are Scripth's Admin and the f3x tool, both of which are well known and don't contain a virus. Also, here is the virus script

02local NameCheck = false
03script.Parent.Name = names[math.random(1, #names)]
04script.Name = [[ProperGråmmerNeededInPhilosiphalLocations;insertNoobHere]]
05local c = script.Parent:Clone()

How do you run the recursion? If you "play" the place (ex F5), then changes your scripts make (like deleting the virus) won't be saved. Instead, copy the script and paste it into the Command Bar *without* starting/playing the place chess123mate 5873 — 9y

I paste it into the command bar and it successfully deletes the scripts, but when I play the game onto the gamepage the source of the virus clones the scripts once again. Scerzy 85 — 9y
