For someone studying Spanish it's a good rule to be aware of. Double negatives are generally used to express the negative and what you should almost always use.

There are acceptions that you should be aware of if not necessarily make use of. Like all languages Spanish is very flexable.

Please Spanish speakers correct me if I'm wrong:
example: You can say " sin malicia alguna". (without malice)
I'm nearly sure you can also say "sin malicia ninguna"

Sorry, but "sin malicia alguna" is correct, and it has the same meaning than "sin ninguna malicia"
