Opera 12.18

Any YouTube video shows it for me, presumably assuming that auto play isn't enabled.
Just hover the cursor on the video, and a "Click to activate and use this control" box pops up next to the cursor.
The fix did involve changing just two bytes, xa-nocta did that for you if it was a version of opera.dll that it knew about, but it hasn't worked for a long time, since the early versions of Opera 12 in fact.
There were some manual hex editing solutions around, which may well be what I used on 12.17, but the opera.dll on 12.18 seems to be completely different, with none of the hex vales matching at the same locations, so I wouldn't know where to start to find the places to make the two changes. It was just changing two 00 bytes to 01.

Yes, that's what my two bytes were too, so we both must have done it manually. Only problem is that my.opera.com, which is where the blog was that explained how, is gone. But as you suggest, the patterns didn't stay the same from build to build, so that probably wouldn't be much help now.
Even with Autoplay off, videos autoplay anyway, so I'm not sure what's going on with Youtube. But I went to other sites too, where videos don't autoplay (like charlierose.com), and still didn't see Click to activate. I'm a bit puzzled.

This is very strange!
The Flash videos on charlierose.com don't trigger the popup here, but all YouTube videos do!
I'm seeing the popup on QuickTime videos too. If you have QuickTime installed, have a look here and see if you get the popup when you hover the cursor on the video at the top of the page.

It seems there's some other wacky variable to Eolas, but it's good that it's mostly not coming up rather than the opposite.
@davehawley, I looked at the DLL, and it follows a predictable, if not exact, pattern as compared to 12.17, so you should have success.
Search: 89 45 0c 3b d8 75 e8 8b c3 5b 5d c3 8b
You'll find that puts you in the right area, and the work to do shortly follows it.
I would change these two bytes: 6637cf and 6637e4. I don't have many sites on which to check it, but doing that at least eliminated the extra click necessary on the last site that I mentioned.

I believe you can still find it via the web archive.
Who are those Eolas anyway?

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly, I now have no more annoying prompts popping up!
:cheers:
I couldn't find that string of values you mentioned, but making the two changes as the addresses you gave did the trick.
I'm assuming that the 64 bit DLL is completely different, but for some reason the 64 bit version of 12.18 doesn't seem to have the problem anyway.
Much appreciated, I would never have found that myself!

On that second tab, check the Remember my choice box and click Approve. Either that, or tell Eset not to scan secure pages. The warning looks the same as the one I get in Mail - your antivirus is acting as a proxy, and Opera is warning you that you have a potential "man in the middle" situation going on because the certificate is from Eset, not the actual website. (Not certain, but you might end up approving the certificate for every single website you normally visit. If so, I'd change the settings in Eset.)

Yes, I've to approve looooots of certificates, and for some websites I've to approve again and again even I checked remember.
But I use Opera 35, Chrome, Firefox and Pale moon and only Opera 12 is giving me these issues, I mean it's something with Opera if I can adjust or alter something in Opera settings to prevent these warnings.
I really don't want to mess with the antivirus as other browsers have no issues and I can't let go of Opera 12.

www.netvibes.comIn opera

That looks like a font problem, some of the symbols on the page like the down arrows are being mis-rendered.
Try masking as IE or Firefox using the site preferences.

Going to ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/1218/ there is a new Opera 12 version, but I can't find a changelog.
Would you finally reached the download links? If not, I give both two below. Both links are indicated in the message Opera Security, penultimate paragraph.
If you had been already achieved, please consider that I prefer to sin by excess than by lacking.

Try to disable Web Fonts: opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableWebfonts
-
You can try to enable/disable Web Fonts selectively for a certain web-sites via override.ini editing
[Overrides]
User Prefs|Enable Webfonts=0

Recently I updated ESS to v9 and started to get these "Security Issue" notification While using opera on every single website, some websites give bunch of these and I've to click, click, click, ... very annoying.There was a similar problem with the KAV (Kaspersky's antivirus suite) and Opera 12.x. The solution was to import a special security certificate into Opera 12 (root certificate made by Kaspersky Labs for Opera) to bypass security warnings:

Masking as IE or Firefox didn't work, no change
That's a shame, but it was worth a try!
My next suggestion would have been the same as stng's, try that.

I followed the instruction of KAV and tried to match them with Eset, now I don't see any security prompts for the sites I visit, hopefully it is fixed for good.
Thank you.As for web fonts, I tried suggestion #1 and it messed lots of other sites and didn't fix the issue, so I revert settings back.
Suggestion #2 didn't solve the problem as well.
While in override.ini file, I see these settings for that site only, maybe they have something to do with the issue ??@davehawley
No problem, happy to have help
Thank you.
