@DavidKnight Do you start Opera with opened tabs?

Hi, Just Opera for Windows on my PC. I only open Opera with a clean page, no tabs open.
Thank you.

Whilst Opera was open I opened up a saved tab and the same message came up from Malwarebytes refering to brimoq4.fun is trying to load.

@DavidKnight Any difference if you remove the content of the session folder on the profile directory?

I think that I have found the sessions on Windows C drive and have deleted them.

@DavidKnight You can check the path to the profile directory in opera://version or opera://about

@leocg Good morning, I have removed the sessions from the folder. Have opened Opera a few times and some tabs, so far no messages from Malwarebytes. I'll keep you updated.
Thank you for your help.

@DavidKnight Just a clean tab? Or did you open a page?

I just went to open this chat page and the message came up again. I have tried searching for brimoq4 on the PC drive but can't find it. Deleted sessions, caches etc. but it is still there.

@DavidKnight Maybe it's just a link on a page you are opening? Or on a bookmark?

@DavidKnight If you use any extensions, try disabling/uninstalling them.

This is the message I get, it shows Opera is th app trying to access an unsafe site. Some times the message comes up when just opening Opera, even before I open any pages.

@DavidKnight What is the reason for Malwarebytes to consider the page as unsafe?

@DavidKnight Go to settings page and enable the option to alert you when a third party app tries to open a link. It's in the On Startup section.

That way you can check if it isn't an app outside Opera trying to open the link.

@DavidKnight So it says that the web page may be malicious? Did you try to search about that address to see if there is more information about it?
