The site is no longer marked as malicious by Malwarebytes.

Your'e right. MBAM blocked the image on my PC so all I saw was the word 'image' instead. However, when I opened the thread on my iPad I could see the image.

Thank you for the link to the MBAM support site. Well spotted!

The thread has only 2 embedded URLs and neither trigger Malwarebytes. I looked at the source of the page and I can't see what's triggering the warning.

Might be the link to some third-party macro recorder (not AHK based) on this page that is suspicious.

Apologies if this is the wrong area.

I've just read this thread: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42030 and MalwareBytes Premium indicates an attempt to access a malicious website (and blocks access). I get the same Malwarebytes warning if I refresh the page... so I'm confident it's just this one page.

Hope this helps...
