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?

Sorry, I do not understand "clean profile"

@wolnumber1 Check the FAQ

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.
