        Windows security scan is detecting and quarantining several Threats from Opera the last 3 days. Seems to be happening since 11/17/2022
        I have seen Opera update itself a couple times the last few days

        What is going on here?

        Detected: Trojan:JS/GootLoader.AA!MTB
        Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

        container Files:
        C:\Users\hoffm\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache\Cache_Data\f_03d2ab

        C:\Users******\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache\Cache_Data\f_03c9b2

        C:\Users****\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache\Cache_Data\f_03b8ae

          @el34 Your antivírus thinks that a page you have visited has/had a malware.

            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 folder

            I 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 scan

            C:\Users******\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache\Cache_Data\f_03de15

              I have my Windows 10 PC run full sweeps around evening time on the scheduler
              Windows isolates the issue and I have windows eliminate the danger when I see the issue spring up
              It has revealed one every day throughout the previous 4 days.

                @belanoor What malware, and where? If it is in the cache, then it is coming from a tab you have open and will keep reappearing until you close that tab.

                  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
