Opera falsely detecting malicious extension

Browser now blocking Total ADBlock extension being used saying that it is a malicious product. How do you go figure it came from the official site of this Total AV Virus protection. I know GX has it's own Ad Block set up in it, but the one they blacklisted worked way better and is not a malicious extension. Please fix this.

It might be due to what they're saying in the reviews for the extension.

The extension replaces ads with ads advertising the premium version of the product unless you pay. I guess it also adds ads to pages that don't have them that advertise the premium version.

But, see this post for how you can install an extension in Chrome, grab the extension's folder, edit its manifest.json file, and load it into Opera to avoid Opera blocking the extension.

@burnout426 okay so that makes sense that it got review bombs because of ads being within an ad blocker. However I am a total AV paid customer and I have never seen ads. Thank you for the work around I will give it a shot.
