      Take away your damn http://s.optnx.com This garbage with your viruses a billion times a day requires the antivirus to give it access. Damn you! Destroyed the browser, impossible to use. There are ads or viruses on every corner.
      I'm tired of closing this window! I deleted the browser several times and cleared the cache from cookies. I have reinstalled Windows 10. You just scoff at me like bastards!

        Maybe you've got a malware?

          @Kraiver Are you using any extensions in Opera? If so, which ones?

            @leocg @blackbird71 only adblock and addguard. I checked my computer for viruses several times.
            Internet Security 13 blocks this site only in the Opera browser. Up to 100 times a day.

              @Kraiver Already checked with extensions disabled?

              Is Opera your default browser? There is something that triggers the pop-up windows?

                Yes.
                Yes.
                My antivirus is complaining. His window appears. This appeared once after the Opera's update. It is unbearable.

                  @Kraiver So it can be a malware on your computer that is opening pages in Opera because it's the default browser.

                  And what triggers the pop-ups?

                    @leocg I have no viruses. I checked with 2 antivirus software. I checked the shortcut. I've checked everything I can.

                    What does the Opera need on this site? And why is it defined as a virus?

                      @Kraiver I don't think Opera has something to do with it. Here I don't get any pop-ups related to that site.

                      Regarding the virus warning, you need to ask your antivirus maker. It can even be a false positive.

                        There are a lot of issues on Opera they need to address. After every update there is a problem. Mine is always saying no internet connection when I have one and it won't stop opening with spotify no matter how I change the settings and it is really hard to get any help that works. But it is better than Mozilla/firefox or Edge, Everytime I reinstall opera the same thing is still there, I would be furious if I had to install windows 10 again,. Good luck.

                          @leocg I trust more antivirus than Opera. Opera as a quality product died along with version 12. Now it's garbage full of ads and bugs. And it's requiring dubious permissions to connect to dubious sites.

                          I have not received an answer why Opera is trying to access this site. Although I found a description in Google that this is related to a web camera. Are they trying to watch me without my knowledge?

                          As Google writes, I'm far from alone with this problem. It started about 7 months ago.

                            Ok, when I visit the site, I indeed get a popup in Russian "from Eset" alerting me to something... which is fascinating, because I don't have anything from Eset installed on this computer - and the browser used was not Opera nor does it have an adblocking extension. There's something abnormal/malicious about the radikal site... either because of something nasty in its native JavaScripting (the site won't fully load if JavaScript is blocked) or in some kind of rotating banner ad. I'm not sure what is directing you to the site itself...

                              @Kraiver At least here, Opera doesn't seem to be trying to access that page.
