@blackbird71 Yea no problem, because a few weeks ago I also tried searching for stuff like this and nothing appeared. But there is one thing which I must mention, the step which all people can do only removes the malware program, but there will still be a few files from the extension that remains in your computer. To fix that, I recommend anyone facing this issue to also ask in the Malwarebytes forums, and they will be able to help you with the small details that helps remove this virus completely. But the first thing I recommend is enable 2FA in your email. The extension was taking all my passwords and emails and stuff, and even added filter to block all emails from google and such. So to help things to not go that far, enable 2FA, as they cant get your brain or your mobile, check your trash mail regularly, as they will delete a lot of stuff, and finally, dont be hasty in anything. Be careful, and dont try to be an expert if your not.

RE: [Solved]Unknown extension keeps being downloaded onto Opera.Opera for Windows
@sgunhouse Thank you all for your help, and I was able to get some help in the Malweabytes forums from other people who are experts in this stuff. If anyone experiences this same problem, here is the link to the other forum which gave the solution.
So far the extension hasn't redownloaded itself, and for anyone who does experience this problem, don't just disable it, or just remove it every time it can still get your saved google passwords. Anyone experiencing such a problem with an extension, weather it be wOptRank or anything else, please follow the steps given by the guy in the above forums. Only follow his first step as the second post he uploaded was after he saw my reports and was designed for my computer, so doing so could destroy your PC.

RE: [Solved]Unknown extension keeps being downloaded onto Opera.Opera for Windows
@leocg After deleting temps, nothing happened, I restricted access to that specific folder to everyone after I deleted the contents and now its in the Public Users folder. It just keeps popping up somewhere new each time I block access to a folder.

@leocg I downloaded them from their official websites, there was one software which I downloaded from an external source but I deleted it long ago, Im going to try deleting temp files right now and the system came with Mcaffee Antivirus, no issues detected from that and windows defender.

[Solved]Unknown extension keeps being downloaded onto Opera.Opera for Windows
So there is this extension, its called wOptRank, No matter what I do, remove it, disable it, etc, it always keeps coming back. I'm afraid its gathering my passwords, and even if it isnt it keeps shutting down opera after a few minutes after shut down to reinstall it. Heres what I got so far.

The "extension" is being extracted from a file in my computer. Tried deleting it, didnt work, tried disabling access to it and it appeared in a new location.

I was able to find the folder and its contents. It was hidden in Program Files before so clearly they dont want me to find it, and the name of the folder is the same as the one given in the previous screenshot, but just in program files. It contains a JJSON file containing information which I assume is for extensions and a Java file which I cant open, as well as a blank image with a "File" type of item as well, which I also cant open. Contents shown below.
The only actual relief I have is that it is supposed to work for chrome I believe judging from the last line of the sentence, which might explain why the extension is not hidden and easily accessible. The strangest part is I have Mcaffee Premium Protection for 3 years and it hasnt taken a singular whiff of this file or program. I keep disabling it now everytime it comes up but it gets annoying fast, and I also started getting a lot of spam mail recently, I dont know if its related to this tho.
