Dear Sir or Madam,

for a few weeks now, Opera has been trying to load the (dangerous) ftpcloud.de page on its own. I cannot find out why this page should be loaded at regular intervals of approx. 15 minutes. In any case, my Bitdefnder Total Security Center reports it as blocked every time (thank God).

How can I stop this behavior?

Best regards

@matzetheartist I would start by disabling all extensions.

@matzetheartist When exactly it tries to open that page?

Anyway, try checking your system for malware.

@leocg Without any action. If Opera is open, then exactly every 15 minutes.

@matzetheartist Is Opera the default browser?

Yes and so it should be in future too.

I did a search in the history folder and did not find this address (ftpcloud.de) stored anywhere.

@matzetheartist So you don't see a tab or window with that page.

It seems that a site you are visiting is trying to contact that page.

Thank you verry much for your efforts!

I have closed all tabs and restarted Opera from scratch. Bitdefender still gives the following message, but I have translated it from German here.

opera.exe has attempted to connect to ftpcloud.de based on a mismatched certificate. We have blocked the connection to protect your data because the certificate used was issued for a different web address than the destination address.

I can't open ftpcloud.de website, I hope your PC was not hacked, I would suggest you to scan it with freshly updated credible antivirus. For example I was surprised to find out on Wikileaks about 5 years ago, that Notebad++ (which was my favorite text editor) had a backdoor which was closed... so, it is better to be proactive.
