  P.S. In many cases this is a result of linking to images.

  This is what the warning says

  As justjennifer says, the issue is your site’s links to archigalle.com.

  You’ll need to locate any references to archigalle.com on your site and remove them. For example, you’re hotlinking to an Ikea image on archigalle.com in this post:

  http://emilyp711.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/bedroom-decor-ideas/

  Once you eliminate all links/hotlinks to archigalle.com, the malware warning should go away.
