      Everytime I start Opera, my Antivirus (ESET Internet Security) asks me if I allow webcam access for Opera. Why is this happening?
      I uninstalled Opera and installed again, same thing happened.

        While Opera does not normally access your Webcam, it still has to ask for it in case you later visit some video chat site. If you'll never visit such a site, then feel free to disable webcam access in Opera so that it doesn't keep asking.
