Trojan is blocked while searching for images

Hi! As the title says, I was scrolling some pictures last night on Images section using Brave that used Chrome engine. Then, there was a picture that caught my attention. I clicked on the pic to see it first, not the link yet. The website was wallpapercave. com. Surprisingly, Malwarebytes Browser Guards notified me that there was a trojan detected and it was being blocked. I was shocked as I didn't enter the website and yet it can trigger the Malwarebytes Browser Guard. My question is, is my computer safe? I have scanned with Malwarebytes Premium Trial to check whether the trojan can bypass it or not, and it found nothing. Please help me. Here's the picture of the Malwarebytes Browsing Guard. Thank you in advance !

Clicking on any picture in a search opens the site it comes from automatically.

When you are blocked, as long as you do not click continue anyway you are safe as it was blocked.

Oh! I see. That's why it triggered the browsing guard. Well, after I got the notification, I did not proceed to click on the link as I was worried. I just stay on the picture on the image section for a while as I was stunned due to shock. Am I safe?

On any site you get the block, as long as you do not click the following button you are safe.

Oh well. I didn't get that kind of notification. The notification I got was it showed on top right. It was being blocked and and I forgot the next words, it sounded like "you're safe to browsing" I guess. Also, I didn't visit the link, I just visited the images, like this:

Same thing. If you do not click any further then you are safe. That is what the back button in the browser is for. 😉

Ah, I see. That was exactly my case, so If I didn't proceed by clicking the link. I'm safe. Thank you !
