      I cleared the page before it fully opened. As a result, it does not appear in History.
      It appears first as a pop-up, and then Opera starts to open a webpage.
      I had a few a couple of days ago, and three times this afternoon. None since.
      If it happens again, I will get the URL and a screen shot. It has always been the same one rather than different ones.

        My system is scanned constantly by two different programs, Norton Security and Advanced System Care Ultimate.

          @wolnumber1 And when it happens? And in what sites?

          It looks like a malware.

            Try an ad-ware scanner. Also, any extensions installed?

              1. I have adware scanner in place & running.
              2. This only happens when I have Opera running in the background, it is not my default browser & I mostly have not started it - I only start it when I expect to use it, afterwards I sometimes leave it running in the background and that is when this happens.
                After the popup appears as soon as I remove it, Opera opens up & a new tab opens with the porn site.
                Clearly, if it is not related to Opera, it would open in the default browser, Firefox.

                  The only extension I have on Opera is Roboform, and it is clean.

                    @wolnumber1 It happens even if you don't load any page in Opera?

                      Yes. The only thing open on Opera is Bookmarks.

                        @wolnumber1 The problem happens with a clean Opera profile?

                              OK, Thank you. It is now clean. I presume that means the problem has probably been removed.

                                @wolnumber1 The idea is to check if the issue still happens with a clean profile.
