<![CDATA[Is it normal for the browser to ask for permission to make changes to the computer?]]>I use the Opera GX browser and sometimes, suddenly, it asks for permission to make changes to my computer. I once accepted it, but I was told it was a virus. I'm confused because I'm sure the permission was for the browser. Can someone help me?

The installer could (you know, to install the browser) if you selected an option which requires it.
