@leocg No not really. However, oddly enough, after updating Opera from Settings > Upate & Recovery then relaunching Opera. It manage to fix the issue, and I don't seem to get that weird autofill anymore.

There's https://forums.opera.com/post/219219, which might be a workaround if it doesn't increase CPU usage itself.

(That extension is gone. You'll have to find it in Google Cache or find a similar one.)

@burnout426 said in Opera crash-reporter:

You can rename the exe in the latest version folder in Opera's install folder if you want.

I do not recommend renaming or deleting this file. In this case the file debug.log will be created in the folder, which will prevent the automatic deletion of this folder when updating the browser version. It is better to leave everything as is and not to worry.

@burnout426 ahh ok thanks

@hion said in Threat Found in Opera Cache?:

@blackbird71 hmm. I've ran a full scan and everything seems fine. I still find it extremely odd that this happened.

I agree it seems odd, but on the other hand, if you visited an infected site or one carrying an infected ad server, I can see how Defender may have trapped the exploit as the browser was loading it into a cache folder and so it may have blocked any manual or other form of access to that file and folder until you took remedial action thru Defender... that is what an AV program is supposed to do.

With a clean full scan under your belt, the implication would be that the nasty was successfully trapped before it could do or install anything else. Whether it could have unilaterally done damage from a cache folder even if not blocked, I don't really know... but in any case, it seems as if you're good to go now.

@burnout426 Thanks! I'll see how it works in the next days 🙂

@alvs Sadly I did not find a solution to this, and honestly It wasn't a huge issue since I just ended up bringing a small portable mouse with me.
