But why not Malware,RiskTool or Spyware as usual so - namely a Trojan?

Why isn’t it labeled as Malware, RiskTool, or Spyware — specifically a Trojan?

It was probably triggered by the web players on GX corner that i think got an update yersterday and bitdefender doesnt think of is a threat any more. Not 100% on that though you gotta give it a try and check for your self.

I'm a new Opera user, before I'm using Chrome.
I'm having a problem which is, when my Avast Antivirus is enabled, I can't browse Opera, all the websites keep loading, but they won't!
When I open Chrome, it seems to force Opera, but even then the browsing is horrible and slow.
When disabling all Avast functions, Opera works normally. But I would like to use the browser with Antivirus turned on right!!

Can anyone help me with this problem??

Thanks!!!

All reports except one say it's safe.

Might help to ask on https://forum.avast.com/index.php to see if it's a false positive for site.

Trying to load unpacked extensions results in an immediate freeze with the small pop-up explorer showing no folders. After crashing or closing it, the task takes a minute to disappear and for my antivirus to calm down.

Same story on my laptop: everything worked fine until I updated to version 58.
I thought downgrading to version 55 would help but it did not.

I contacted Trend Micro's customer support but they were not able to help me

Other browsers such as Firefox work flawlessly

I tried:
reinstalling Opera (versions 58 and 55)
disabling various extensions
disabling my antivirus (which resolves the issue temporarily) (!)

OS:
Windows 8.1 (latest updates installed) and Windows 10 on my laptop
Trend Micro 'Maximum Security' Version 15.0.1212
