So my antivirus has been annoying me with different alerts about websites I'm not even on. Searched it up a bit and from what I've seen it might be malware. How do I fix this? (It pops up randomly )

@vlad000 The antivirus forum usually is the best place to discuss about its warnings.

Do you use any extension? It could be an extension trying to access those sites.
It also could be a page you are/were visiting.

The only one I'm a bit concerned about is the downloader one. But it works so I don't really know if it's because of it.

@vlad000 You need to disable them and see if the warning still shows up.

@vlad000 The antivirus has nothing to do with the Opera browser.
However, I will suggest you disabling all the available extensions.
And then check it again. I hope it will solve your problem.

First of all, can you tell me what antivirus do you use? I have a similar set of extensions and use Norton Antivirus Plus but I do not have any problems. Maybe you should try to switch off all extensions first and see how it will work. Then you can try to start any of the extensions one by one and check. Also, you can try to reinstall Opera, maybe it will help you.

Also, you can try to use Malwarebytes Premium antivirus. I have found a lot of positive feedback and reviews but have not tried it yet.
