[Tfug] My Opera browser has malware

[Harry McGregor]

This sounds like an Opera issue, specifically in the opera.ini file, but 
I don't use opera so I don't really know.

My suggestion

mv .opera opera.backup

restart opera, and see if you still have the problem.

If the problem is still around:

tar cvfz operastuff.tar.gz opera.backup .opera

Then restart opera and see if the problem is gone.
