Happens when you don't have any anti-virus software and Windows Defender is disabled.

See https://forums.opera.com/post/244148 and the comment that follows it for the registry key you need to edit and the ScanWithAntiVirus value you have create/edit (to 1 according to the following comment).

Issue is mentioned here also.

Just to be sure, copy the following into a new document in notepad and save as fixme.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
"ScanWithAntiVirus"=dword:00000001

Then, right-click fixme.reg and choose "merge".

Then, close Opera and restart Windows.

If that still doesn't work, create fixme2.reg with the following and merge that into the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
"ScanWithAntiVirus"=dword:00000001

Then, restart Windows again.

This usually only happens if you don't have any anti-virus software installed besides Windows Defender and have Windows Defender disabled. Is that the case for you or do you actually have Windows Defender enabled like it's supposed to be or have some other anti-virus software installed (like McAfee)?
