Trying to install opera on work laptop but operaSetup.exe immediately quarantined by antivirus software. What are you added in new version that can be treated like a threat? I have no access to antivirus, and even if I had, I'll not disable it to instal browser! Why?! File downloaded from https://www.opera.com/

@shkolik Some business systems don't allow software that auto-updates. Talk to your IT people.

opera.com gives you the network installer by default that's just a small setup file that fetches the install files. Cylance's heuristics might be making a bad guess that there's something wrong with that behavior. Try downloading the full installer from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/97.0.4719.63/win/ instead.
