Good afternoon,
For 2 weeks I have had several Avast alerts (aborted calls) after 15/20 minutes of using Opera.
Initially, I thought they were related only to Facebook but today I found that no, that is true of any other sites.
What's up?

@silveste You need to ask Avast. What they say the problem is? The alerts are about what?

@silveste Also, what extensions are you using?

Every time when I am starting Opera, a notification from my antivirus appears. It says "safely terminated the connection to miratom.com due to an infection". I do not know how to remove this stuff so it will not appear no more.

@plhxnda Already checked with all extensions disabled? Do you have any opened tabs?

Hi, Avast is blocking Opera - anytime when I try to write anything in search/url window i got this:

It says that suggestions.opera-api2.com is infected with Malvertising...

Good day! I also faced such a problem. After doing a little research, I came to the conclusion that with the new version of Avast, he began to consider this URL as malicious advertising. When disabling Avast and entering text in the search bar, no third-party sites were opened, which means that Avast most likely decided for itself that it was infected, as it usually happens:(
Try adding the URL to the antivirus exceptions.

@banshior I have the same problem, I had to uninstall Opera because otherwise it doesn't work at all if I can't run any search with it. Have you been able to solve it somehow?
