Hi leocg, thanks for the prompt & apt response.

I'm just concerned about the security of the files downloaded by the opera's auto update as:

1. it can't be deactivated like previous versions.
2. I've known opera.com's download page to hand off download requests to 3rd party hosts (including edu's etc.) - hosts of which I know nothing of, nor how clean these 3rd party systems may or may not be.

Are there any opera employees that can give a more definitive answer?

Thanks!

Hi, this is a question to the mods and or opera software employees.

When Opera does auto updates - is it done from Opera Software servers OR 3rd party servers?

Thanks.
