1. I believe this alert has been triggered because
someone posted an image which was hosted on a site that Google considered to be suspicious (bunders.net). That doesn't mean that the image itself was malware, merely that the image was on a suspicious site.

I have blocked image to linking to bunders.net, so this problem should not occur again (at least not with that particular site).

2. Amusingly enough, bunders was used in my .sig pic.
So I was getting malware warnings on my own posts.
