Found additional infected file error.php inside wp-includes/SimplePie/Cache for dronesouthwest.com and other domains. I deleted the infected file, cleared all cache directories added .htaccess rules to prevent recurrence.
If you start another wordpress installation, please take a look at the existing .htaccess for dronesouthwest, because you have make similar .htaccess for any new wordpress installation.
