Yes, still getting malware warning popup on this page using Opera. I'm running a full system scan right now (it's deep into my backup drive right now) and I'll run a fresh malwarebits scan once this is done.
I did something I forgot I was not supposed to do while figuring out current issues, and that is install new software. Avast was feeling bloated, not sleek like 5 years ago, and seemed most responsible for the amount of fragmentation that was slowing my HD. It was coming up for renewal, so I uninstalled it and replaced it with BitDefender. What I didn't realize is BD would take out Spybot S&D on installation.
I also got a surprise tab opening when I opened Opera to repy here, a baking recipe I looked at briefly several days ago that's never popped up before. Considering I've opened and closed Opera many times since, including with different re-start options, that just seems buggy. That's yet another program that doesn't seem as slick as when I first used it.
One final system tweak is switching my default defrag program from IObits Smart Defrag to Defraggler. I'd been manually running the latter for the past couple of weeks, and my machine just seems much faster on this program. No install or uninstall for this change, however.
