[Duplicated] Random YouTube videos being played

My Opera browser has been infected with a malware that plays and likes Youtube videos in the background. I use Bitdefender and it supposedly blocks malicious content so I'm not sure what's going on. Malwarebytes and Bitdefender couldn't find the malware and it keeps liking videos in the background as long as I'm logged in to my Google account on the browser.

I'm fairly certain that it's a browser issue because I've changed my google password, two factor authentication is enabled and no unknown devices accessing my account.

@burnout426 Thanks. I had searched some keywords before posting but didn’t see the threads.
