Constant pop-up ads from Opera

I am constantly receiving ads from 'withenarwitheg.info'. Clicking 'remove ads' lead to a random website trying to sell me something and probably giving me malaware. I've tried to block that webstite from giving me notifications, and I've downloaded a pop-up blocker and also blacklisted that site. Yet I still receive these infuriating ads that constantly get in the way. I am am about to uninstall Opera, as soon as I figure out how to transfer my bookmarks and passwords to any other browser. Please help.

@tincan Already checked with extensions disabled and with a clean profile as in the instructions? Already checked your system for malware?

A search for that website shows that that is a virus.

@leocg What do you mean 'check with a clean profile'? And yeah, I've scanned my system using Malawarebytes

@leocg I just went into the notifcation settings and looked up the site, then cleared the stored data and blocked absolutely everything I could about the site and its permissions. Now everything is blocked, but I'm not sure how to completely remove it

@tincan If you search for that site on Google, you will find some tutorials about how to remove the virus/malware. Don't know if they work but you can give a try.

You can also try scanning your system with an (different) anti-virus.
