Have you checked to see if you actually have malware or not ? (Try scanning site with securi free scanner.)
Have you actually setup best security practices for your website ?
Theme cannot cause site to be hacked unless you’re using a very very old version, which might have included some insecure plugins since updated.
Whqt is the malware detected? screen capture or paste info here?
Read up on how to lock down your site
a) change default superuser — it should *not* be “admin”
b) enforce strong passwords
c) consider disabling XMLRPC
d) enable plugin like “limit login attempts”
e) don’t allow people to register on your site
f) remove old plugins and themes not being used
(etc.)
you should consider downloading all your site content to a PC folder and running a scanner on that.
If you don’t remove an infection, changing theme doesn’t do anything. You’re still infected.
If your images are infected, that is outside the theme path for instance.
Worst case:
a) make mysql dbase backup
b) make FTP backup of images folder, scan for virus with local backup
c) reset your hosting account, do clean install of WordPress, point at existing dbase; use only default theme temporarily
d) make sure you don’t get re-infected
