Re: Google is blocking autohotkey.com

Two suggestions:
First
The download link (a href code) is https://autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe but when you click it you are actually presented with AutoHotkey_1.1.29.01_setup.exe (or latest version exe)
I would change this to the actual filename of the exe (yes that does mean updating the page each time for a new release)
This makes it look "less tricky".
Second
Add a note where the user can find the installer on GitHub. Currently there is one Note. Why not make it two notes like so:
Note 1: The installer also includes an "extract to" function to extract all files without installing. This can be accessed from the installer GUI or on the command line.
Note 2: Your browser or Antivirus software may block the download(s) from this page. This will most likely be a false positive. An alternative download location for the installer is available on official AutoHotkey GitHub page here https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L/releases (look for the AutoHotkey_1.[version number]_setup.exe). When in doubt you can submit the download link(s) to virustotal.com
