My antivirus has detected a virus in Opera GX.

Threat name: JS: Redirector-BNW [Trj]

Process: C: \ Users \ superuser \ AppData \ Local \ Programs \ Opera GX \ 71.0.3770.323 \ opera.exe
Discovered with: Web Protection
Status: Connection interrupted
This happened 2 times. And 6 months ago, immediately after installing 360 Total Security, I complained about a Trojan horse, and the infected file was active all the time, which made me unable to delete it. A month ago, the same Total Security did not complain about any viruses, but on 11/26/2020 Avast began to complain.
P.S. Do not follow the link above! It may be dangerous!

Did you install any extensions that are not from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions and https://addons.opera.com/en/?

@insumaniac Reinstall opera. And delete all files manually. Then reinstall.
