@avtdvt Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for the next episode

@avtdvt Both Opera and Bitdefender have just been updated, apparently the problem disappeared

@avtdvt I thought the same about Bitdefender's answer, I replied saying what I had done, here is the new message:

**Thank you for trusting in Bitdefender security solutions.

Thank you for your response, please indicate if the situation experienced has been resolved once you have followed the instructions in the previous email.**

What if it's not a false positive?

Now, I repeated the process with another spreadsheet, saving it in PDF format within a OneDrive subfolder. Guess what? Bitdefender warned me again

Switching to Microsoft Edge in the meantime

Here is the Bitdefender's answer (original text in spanish)

**Thank you for trusting in Bitdefender security solutions.

We regret the situation. Upon receiving your case, we inform you that this application is not malicious, it is only an intrusive application which shows you advertising, and it has been installed with your consent at the time of installing (without customizing the installation) an application downloaded from the Internet.

Please uninstall the application from the control panel as explained below:

1. Press the Windows key (located between the CTRL and ALT keys) and the R key at the same time.

2. Type in the box that will appear on the screen, then press Enter;

3. In the list that appears, search for and remove any suspicious / unused applications and this will clean up suspicious applications.**

I did a scan with Malwarebytes that threw a few potentially unwanted files in the Google Chrome folder, nothing to do with Opera

@avtdvt I got the same message. I was saving a spreadsheet as PDF in a folder synced with OneDrive, when Excel finished, the Opera browser automatically opened showing the OneDrive login page, at that time Bitdefender showed the warning

Oh, yes, of course I know that option. I mean a small dialog box with three option buttons with the alternatives mentioned

It would be great if when trying to download a file, a dialog box would appear where you could choose between the default folder, the last used folder or search for a new folder
