          @kar4tash For some reason, your antivírus thinks that something from a page you've visited is malicious.

                It's most likely a false positive cause by Windows Defender's heuristics. Some users of other browsers are seeing it when visiting twitch.tv also.

                However, if you have any Twitch extensions at the URL opera://extensions, especially Twitch adblocking extensions, remove them and see if the alerts go away. Read somewhere that someone recently bought a Twitch adblocking browser extension from something and the new developer started putting malicious code in it. Something to research.

                  @burnout426 thanks for the tip, but unfortunately the problem persists only in Opera GX. I removed all the extensions I had (none were Twitch related), cleared the cache, reinstalled.. and nothing worked. I tested it on Edge and Chrome and didn't face any problems.

                    @ririchiyoz Using Opera's adblocker and tracking protection with any custom lists?

                      @burnout426 Neither. I disabled everything possible in Opera GX to see if the problem persisted, and unfortunately it didn't help. I never had this problem. It started yesterday. I stopped using Opera in the meantime

                          @stevewright-0 High ml score? Anything that says Heuristic is automatically suspect - they are saying it looks similar to malware but it isn't any particular one.
