Hmm that is very interesting. I will go ask my friend about it, thanks for your replies.

Hi, I have been an Opera Browser user for quite a while now, and have recommended Opera to a friend as a safe browser to use.

My friend who lives in the Philippines downloaded and installed Opera, and he said that after he had done so he suddenly found that his machine was invaded by malware and corrupted his operating system.

None of this happened to my family who uses Opera, so I am not sure whether it was just coincidence and maybe malware was already on his machine by the time he downloaded it.

But he came back to me and said that probably the server which he downloaded it from was malware ridden. He made that conclusion because he took his laptop to a repair shop and they said that they traced the malware to Opera.

I don't know how exactly the Opera downloading system works, I came here for confirmation. If it is correct and Opera uses a system of servers in different parts of the world to reduce lag, how can I contact the Opera developers about it?
