No way the sites are going to be able to take any action against script users. There are many scripting and macroing programs around, AHK isn't the only one. They have many legimate uses. Because of carpal tunnel, my play time would be extremely limited if I had to use a mouse all the time instead of pressing keys.

Also, if you look at your Start menu you'll notice under AutoHotkey the option to "Convert .ahk to .exe". When you compile a script to an .exe you can name it anything you want and it will run on a computer that doesn't even have AHK installed. That means that even if the site scanned your computer they wouldn't see "StarsMouseClicker.ahk" they would see "helper.exe" or whatever generic name you gave it.

Sure, but they'll still notice that your mouse is acting pretty damn usual. I think they'll be able to tell if you're using a script regardless of the name of the file; mostly they just don't care.
