Forum site blocked

For about a week I’ve been unable to access the forum from my PC
My antivirus software (Malwarebytes) is blocking the site as ‘It’s compromised’ and ‘the site can’t provide a secure connection’.

Anyone else had or seen this?
The pop ups says I can unblock and manage by exception. However I was a bit wary of doing this as it says legitimate sites can be used by hackers without the owners knowledge. ( No offence Sp3ctre)

Left it a week to see if it cleared and have accessed a few times via my phone.
Surprised that no one else seems to have brought it up.

It's unlikely to be the site. Possibly something on your PC is intercepting the link. I have had this with a few sites over the years. Try clearing all your cookies.

There have been a few on here recently with that software, there is a thread somewhere.

Same for mine, I added it as an exception in Malwarebytes Pro.

Thanks guys. I’ll carry out the suggestions above and have another look for the thread

Well that worked, eventually. I had to add the forum site to the exclusions list a few times before it finally let me access.
Cleared cookies as well for good measure

I had the issue last week. Added as an exception to malwarebytes.
