Thanks for the info
I have my Windows 10 PC run full scans at night on the scheduler
Windows quarantines the issue and I have windows remove the threat when I see the issue pop up
It has reported one each day for the last 4 days
Different files each time in the same folderI followed the link to the folder where windows security is reporting these issues.
I just deleted all files in that folder and will see what happens tonight on the full scanC:\Users******\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache\Cache_Data\f_03de15

I got tired of seeing the Windows scan every day regarding this trojan message
Even if I deleted the item, the next day another one would be listed in the Opera AppData folder as shown in my first post.I uninstalled Opera on all my PC's and started using Firefox
I deleted all the Opera AppData folders
No problems since then -
