@sigvaldi I'd keep a close eye on things going forward. It's very good that both full scans came up clean, but sometimes sites can become infected with malware that only periodically attempts to whack visitors by design (to better prevent ready complaints/detection)... just keep an eye on things, since it appears Defender can handle this one if it does come through.

@blackbird71 I did an offline scan then a full scan with Microsoft Defender and it didn't find anything else after the malware threat was blocked.

I find it kinda odd because these sites that I have been visiting isn't sketchy at all, its sites that I visit daily with the Brave browser and Google Chrome.

@sigvaldi It appears to be data with malware attributes that was stored in Opera's cache, probably from a site you've visited (or continue to visit). Since you state this isn't the first time you've gotten the warning, either you are revisiting a problematic site or something else may be occurring on your system to recreate it. Defender has removed it from the browser cache this time, but you probably should do a "full" AV system scan to be sure it isn't lodged somewhere else as well. Note: a full scan will usually take a while to complete.
