@magma500 I've done so already due to this issue. I've blocked opera in hosts, renamed autoupdate, disabled opera auto update tasks in task manager and all other suggested 'fixes' and as a last resort even re-installed opera to no avail...still the red box after a short while..

Hey @dave-s,
Just to confirm, are you using Windows 7 or 8.1? If so, did you try downgrading Opera 95 to the previous version, then performing your blocking tasks? Also, did you flush your DNS then restart Opera after the changes?
Regardless, upgrading to Windows 10 is your best bet. I know, painful, but worth it.
Cheers

Time to move to Firefox.
Well, that will buy regular Firefox users only a few months of Windows 7 compatibility, at best. Firefox version 115 (due out in early July) will be the last regular Firefox to support Windows 7. Firefox ESR and LTS versions will also end support in 2024.
The tide continues going out on Windows 7, as it has in the past for all obsolete operating systems. And when that tide goes out, software application compatibility sinks along with it.

Firefox version 115 will be the last supported Firefox version for users of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. If you are using these versions of Windows you will be moved to the Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) channel by an application update. Mozilla will provide security updates for these users until September 2024. No security updates will be provided after that date.
