While i was browings the web, a popup said that opera needed an update and automatically downloaded a file called "Opera.Update.daf5a2.js" and as a complete fool i ran it.
At First nothing happened but on the next pc startup i noticed how everything i tried to run kept telling me that there was no internet connection.
Is there anyway that i can remove this file fron my pc?

@yagamiaf Removing the file should be trivial - just delete it. Undoing whatever it did is another question.
But doesn't a javascript still run even after deleting the file? I apologize, I'm not that "informed" on this kind of stuff.
