How can I remove the virus or something that covers the page I've just opened?

Recently, almost every time I opened a webpage in Opera, an ad page would pop up to cover my page and a new tab would automatically pop up showing an ad for http://www.reimageplus.com/land/slm/index3.php?tracking=YTZ&banner=direct&adgroup=4ce2a86d-0998-4b59-a387-913541ef4e68&ads_name=direct&keyword=direct&context=e7753786-bd4f-4e21-9903-e0215a5ed243

Are there any ways to solve this problem?

It sounds as if your computer has an adware infection, most likely from downloading freeware with which the adware program was bundled (openly or covertly). While the reimageplus.com domain is legitimate, it's often co-opted to display an adware program (the rest of your URL) that force-displays ads and reaps click-count payments for the perpetrators. Normally, the infection exists as a browser plug-in. Removal is typically routine by using a reputable adware removal tool like AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, Junkware Removal Tool, or Hitman Pro - each of which is available for download/install from its own website. Be careful to only download such tools from the maker's own sites, else you expose yourself to even more bundled-malware grief if using the various general "freeware" sites as a source. This freeware bundling has become a plague, mainly because the general freeware sites sell the rights to bundle crapware along with a legitimately-sought program as a means of raising revenue.

He did not read

The shorcuts may be dirty too, don't remember if AdWCleaner cleans them, BTW, you may put the URL www.reimageplus.com into Hostsfile to avoid it.

Has March month something with Reimageplus!¿? xD
