  Every time I go to my site it says that it has been infected with malware. How do I get it out?

  There actually isn’t any malware on your blog from what we can tell.

  I recommend disputing this with whatever software program is displaying the malware warning.

  Both use Google’s malware system.

  The details for your site are at http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fliveattheapollo.net%2F&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US

  I recommend following the instructions there to request a review of your site.

  I noticed the following error: “1 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including tednguyenusa.com/.”

  And I noticed that one of the images used in your sidebar is an image URL reference pointing to the tednguyenusa.com domain: http://www.tednguyenusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/twitter.png

  I moved that widget to your inactive widgets section because it is probably the source of the trouble.

  To put a code into the html, it depends on what the code is and where exactly it needs to be placed. If it’s a text string, you could try adding it to the sidebar in a text wiget. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
