Hi Vivek, the malware seems to be in a template line 1480 onwards.  If you are able to edit the template delete these lines

"[<p></p> <a class='open' href='#' title='Scenery 5'></a> <img alt='' class='full' src='http://mirfactov dot com/wp-content/uploads/1555.jpg'/> </div>]

or else restore your blog completely to default template and put some other template.  Hope this helps

I'm just curious. How did you know where the problem was?

May be 40 years's of experience! Wink

Chrome also shows the website from which the malware content is taken along with the warning. 

Content from mirfactov.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page.

So, you just need to search for mirfactov.com in the source code. Laughing

There is this  blog aggregator site  bloggiri. Any site that posts their badge also seems to get this malware alert.
