Possible malware asociated to some Newspaper sites

Hello. I am having some trouble with something I consider is malware.
I have a blog running Newspaper theme and when I go to Media Library, there are some pictures in the media library that I have not uploaded. When I try to delete them, they show up again. I have tried to manually delete them from the server and still, they are there once again.
The images are named like tdm_pic_9.jpg or similar. When I search for that name in Google, I can find some results like:

And several more. All these sites use Newspaper. Can you please tell me what’s happening with your theme?

That is not malware. The images are placeholders for the td multipurpose plugin which has now been merged with td composer. The images cannot be deleted and that’s why they recur after you delete. The Tagdiv team says they will provide an option to disable the images in the next update.
