But why not Malware,RiskTool or Spyware as usual so - namely a Trojan?

Why isn’t it labeled as Malware, RiskTool, or Spyware — specifically a Trojan?

Make sure you downloaded the browser from the official Opera website, not a third-party source. Update both your antivirus and browser, then run a full system scan to be safe. If the issue persists, reinstall Opera GX from the verified source to ensure it’s clean.

Quick question — was Opera GX downloaded from the official website? Antivirus software can sometimes trigger false alerts, especially with browsers that use gaming features. If your copy came from the right source, it should be safe. Still, update your antivirus and do a quick extra scan for peace of mind.

But just to clarify—did you download Opera GX from the official website? Sometimes antivirus programs can flag false positives, especially with gaming-focused browsers or mods. If it’s from the official source, it’s most likely safe. Try updating your antivirus definitions or scanning with another tool to double-check. Better safe than sorry!

After that i deleted all extentions cleared the cache and everything else like browser history and all cookies. Then antivisus did the same thing as before and i restarted computer and as soon as i opened Opera the same this happend all over again. I desised to reinstall Opera but it didn't help, everything happen again as soon as i clicked install button in a setup programm. The thing is that Kaspersky updaded its servises and maybe it has something to do with that.

Generally, any warning that is identified as heuristic is a warning about features of the program that could possibly be used in a bad way, not that they have done so. In particular, certain antivirus products tend to identify the background updater as malicious, since it does install updates without asking beforehand.

Go to avast settings and select "Exceptions"
Type https://suggestions.opera-api2.com/
This will definitly help you. I checked if there's really a virus and no there's nothing.
