@matzetheartist When exactly it tries to open that page?

Anyway, try checking your system for malware.

@leocg Without any action. If Opera is open, then exactly every 15 minutes.

@matzetheartist Is Opera the default browser?

I did a search in the history folder and did not find this address (ftpcloud.de) stored anywhere.

@matzetheartist So you don't see a tab or window with that page.

It seems that a site you are visiting is trying to contact that page.

Thank you verry much for your efforts!

I have closed all tabs and restarted Opera from scratch. Bitdefender still gives the following message, but I have translated it from German here.

opera.exe has attempted to connect to ftpcloud.de based on a mismatched certificate. We have blocked the connection to protect your data because the certificate used was issued for a different web address than the destination address.

I can't open ftpcloud.de website, I hope your PC was not hacked, I would suggest you to scan it with freshly updated credible antivirus. For example I was surprised to find out on Wikileaks about 5 years ago, that Notebad++ (which was my favorite text editor) had a backdoor which was closed... so, it is better to be proactive.
