This screenshot sharing website used/marked for malware?

I’ve ran into image links hosted on seemingly popular site “puu.sh” on different gaming community sites like Steam and reddit, and it has been established as downloadable app that can be used on taking screenshots of program windows and automatically saves them as images with hotlinks on puu.sh servers. However, Virustotal seems to have at least 2 malicious alerts for most of the puu.sh links I’ve scanned, usually buy AutoShun and ParetoLogic. Could these reports be some sort of false positive or automatic results for malware having been distributed on the site?

Here’s one instance of scanned image link:

Also Google Safebrowsing shows this:
