All right,
I noticed that new tab appeared with "smartnewtab.com" address, so I checked it - and it is a name of that malware:

RE: Opera opens ad tabs oftenOpera for Windows
I've uninstalled that through control pannel (add/remove programs). There was some other suspicious app, which I removed same way, but problem remains.
It can behave like this: I open some page, and immediately it redirects to other address (ad). Everytime different sites. Also, some graphical popups (botton of tab page) appear.
Yes, I installed previously something free from internet, it can be the problem. But it seems to not appear in unistall control panel. Also, I don't see in running processes. And there is no extension inside Opera to cause it.
That's strange. It hides itself somehow, can't figure it out.Is it possible that Opera can have some plugins, which are not listed in "addons" tab, and it caould cause it?
And it doesn't look like that it some program which asks to open tab by default browser. It something which "tracks" my clicks. If I don't click, this seems to not make any tabs. If I start making something in brosers, clicking links or somewhere, ad tab may appear. - Opera for Windows

RE: Opera opens ad tabs oftenOpera for Windows
no, the problem is this in the browser. I can't say how often this happens, maybe one ad tab in each half an hour or probably more frequent

Opera opens ad tabs oftenOpera for Windows
I'm having this problem with Opera on Widnows. From time to time ad tabs open, or the tab in which I am in opens ad site.
I have no extensions installed.Any idea what is the problem and how to fix it?
