      Hello All,
      What site does Opera check for security updates? I'm running an old version (44.0.2510.1449) on which there appears an interface reminder to "Get the latest security update". The Menu button turns red a short while after opening a new window. Unless there is a simpler way I can use the local modem/router Website Blocking to prevent the update check to begin with.

      Thank You
      Hopefully this picture will show up. I don't see a way to post images here directly.

          Disabling the auto-updater should prevent Opera from checking those updates. The F.A.Q says how to do it.
