I have both Quiz Game and Monkey.redirectmaster.cox displaying in Opera.

Both games sporadically appear on Opera's Speedial. They're both easily deleted, but I want to determine where they're located and remove them from my Samsung S21.

I've tried:

1. Sophos (A/V) -- no malware.
2. Temporarily installed Norton 360 -- no malware.
3. Temporarily installed Malwarebytes -- no malware.
4. I don't see any any malware or unknown apps in Settings*Apps.
5. I connected the phone to my PC and browsed, but couldn't find any unusual filenames.

Any suggestions most welcome.

@stevebass Opera will periodically add stuff to Speed Dial, I believe Quiz Game was one of those. Just delete it and you shouldn't see it again.

@sgunhouse I had a suspicion that was the issue, primarily because Opera Mobile doesn't allow extensions; I couldn't figure out how malware could have snuck in.

So that's is very good news -- and thanks for supplying it.
