Not exactly sure if this is a bug but I wanted to let you know that I have posted my referral link on one other pet site so far (ChickenSmoothie) since they allow referrals in signatures. I recently received a message from one of their admin members that your link causes some players who click my link to be sent here that they receive a malware and/or virus warning. I have other referral links of other sites on that signature as well and have received no compaints so far so I think this is only your site that causes this. They asked me to not use images and links from your site anymore which I will comply to but I would like more information on this issue to know if it is safe for me and others to post and click your links on other sites.

For reference this is the message I received from ChickenSmoothie Admins

Hi there,

The image below has been removed from your signature.

http://beastkeeper.com/resources/images ... babies.jpg

Unfortunately, that image seems to make the anti virus software of some users set off and give them a malware warning when they visit your profile or a page where your signature appears.

Please do not use images from that website anymore.

Thank you for understanding."

Thank you,

Aera

Thank you very much for reporting.

It turned out that our hoster moved us to a new IP recently which is blacklisted by a number of antimalware systems like Avast and Dr. Web due to the malware that was hosted there earlier. Our site is clean (here's a report from Virustotal as a proof) but the history of this IP is not... We're trying to work this issue out with the hoster now. It's onvious that we need to move to a different IP, cleaning the history of the current one is tedious and poorly effective task.

Alright! Thanks so much for clearing this up for me since I did not want to unintentionally cause other people harm to their computers if something was wrong. I'll hold off posting my referral links until you clear it up with the hoster. Thanks for the fast response, I appreciate it.

Thank you for understanding!

Your post was of a great help, we didn't even know that something is wrong.
