      I never ever wanted an update, but Opera updated today without my permission to this new version.

      I have read all postings on how to stop auto updating on the forums, but nothing seems to work.

      Is there anyway to turn this auto update off, or do I simply have to give up on Opera and uninstall it?

        @berg12 Open the run and type this, c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\ take the Hosts file to the desktop, open it with notepad, add it to the bottom and save it. 127.0.0.1 autoupdate.geo.opera.com Then import the file back into the etc folder.

        This allows you to at least stay on the opera 99 version, but when you open the opera for the first time, a notification appears to get a security update. Close and reopen Opera and the notification will go away.
