I would like to know how to remove 'beap.gemini.yahoo.com' from opera.

If you go on www.yahoo.com you always see some commercials. It´s OK.
But now if I stand on commercial with cursor, I don´t open it and if I am standing
there I see commercial is not comming from yahoo but from ´beap.gemini.yahoo.com'
This is not OK. I read about it and it is classified as harmful thing. And I don´t know how to remove it.

@stefan7808 I guess Yahoo is the one who needs to remove it.

You can try using an extension to block that address.

Look at https://www.google.com/search?q=beap.gemini.yahoo.com+removal, I think you might actually have malware on your computer (or just in Opera).

First, goto the URL opera://extensions. Do you see any extensions installed that shouldn't be there? Or, even if there are only ones you've installed, have you installed any that are not from the https://addons.opera.com/ or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions or have been removed from those sites?

Might be best to remove all your extensions and clear cache and cookies for all time and test things again.

If you have trouble removing an weird extension or if it comes back after a restart of Opera, that's a good sign that it's malware

You might want to scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes if you haven't already.

Hello, I used Malwarebites but it didn´t found it. But this it´s still there.

If I open extention. I see this.

Problem with beap.gemini.opea.com is that it displays always the same commercial. That has nothing to do with yahoo or with your activity on internet.

I am a little confused both links say the same thing beap.gemini.yahoo.com but point to different places.
1st link goes to beap.gemini.yahoo.com as it should.
2nd goes to /xn--beap-pha.gemini.yahoo.com.
strange but ublock origin extension blocks the first and i get This site cant be reached for second.

1st

2nd

TLDR: try Ublock origin from opera extensions site, possible it wont fix it but will stop it happening again and most other pups.

@ceedee Second one probably has a special character on it.

@leocg it does seem to have a -- thats why i asked. maybe i wasnt clear.
In the OP it says 2 links and both say beap.gemini.yahoo.com

but they lead to diff URLs if you click them.
(I am reckless like that )
Either way they get hosed on my opera with ublock installed so I am happy to test them out.

One other odd thing is today opera seems to have multiple versions claiming to be the latest. I've seen 3 diff ones in forum posts today, not sure what that is all about as each poster says they have diff versions and all claim its latest version but they are all different any idea which is actually the latest version number.?
Just so we are all on the same page.
mine is

@ceedee I mean that they may not be the same address. Usually when a URL resolves to that kind of address (xn--beap-pha.) is because it's written with some character or use a non-latin alphabet in it.
