Ok I did jinx myself. And I saw the link.
Does it look suspicious to anyone? Or do I just have to live with it?

I wish I could tell you guys what the problem is but it hasn't been happening since. Hopefully it stays that way. The only thing I can think of which MIGHT have resolved the issue is on the settings in Opera which lets you decide the 'start-up options' and I chose 'previous page' which was essentially nothing rather than the other two.
If I have time I'll test it and let you guys know but otherwise thanks for the help!
Sorry guys I may have rejoiced too soon. Basically what I did yesterday was there was an opera entry in one of the HKLM checkboxes and as excited as I was, all I did was untick it, and restarted my comp and voila its gone! Sadly, today when I woke up and switched my computer back on there it was again!
Weird thing is, when I went back to autorun, I could not find any entry related to Opera for today's date. However, I did notice a pre-link(?) before the http://www.msn.com/en-gb/ page was brought up. Unfortunately I was not fast enough to note down the pre-link but it looked something like www.go-....? What I did try to do was restart and also did a proper shut down, and on all those occasions Opera did not autostart. So it made me wonder if it could be an entry in 'News' or part of Windows to autostart the MSN homepage once a day?
I think I have only taken more notice of the issue over the last couple of days because the only time I had to restart my computer was a machine check exception BSOD which I think may have resolved now (so maybe that forced/error restart resetted the clock or something?)
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated else I will review it again tomorrow to see if it happens again because I have not made any changes whatsoever since that last autostart.
Sorry guys I'm really not much of a techie but I do really want to rid this weird issue.
Cheers x
Omg thanks so much everyone! That Autoruns program is a legend You guys are awesome x
Title sounds pretty simple but I have tried all of it:
And none of them has Opera listed as a startup program so there is no way I can disable it. As everytime the page that started up is also the Microsoft/MSN page, I looked for settings under my Microsoft Account but sadly I can't seem to find anything that relates to this issue.
I am using a MSI GE62 2QD and on Windows 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
