Facing weird issue can someone please guide me

kufr · 11 Mar 2023

Hello my anti-malware Emisisoft is daily showing me this

Behavior Blocker detected suspicious behavior of modified C:\Users\MY USER NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\.opera\269A21193471\CUsersMy USER NAMEAppDataLocalProgramsOpera\installing\installer.exe (SHA1: 323FA577B31542E0196CD8FD20D2A5AF0D4C482A)

Can someone please guide me that is this file related to the opera browser or what it actually is

Hi -

Might I suggest going into the following Temp folder and deleting everything in there. It is safe.

C:\Users\MY USER NAME\AppData\Local\Temp

Are you using Emsisoft’s Behavior Blocker?

Most likely Emsisoft is doing it out of a false positive. How tight did you set the controls for it?

It is identifying the Opera Browser installer as a threat. You can delete this setup file once the browser is installed in the Temp file as outlined.
BTW, you do not need to have a 3rd party Anti-Virus app installed. Microsoft Security (Defender) comes with Windows and does the same job as 3rd party app, like Emsisoft And it's free.

I already did and it keeps popping up over and over again. Yes I'm using Emsisoft’s Behavior Blocker.

It setup as pretty strong to block everything.

Run Disk clean up as administrator: %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe

I forgot to mention that the appdata folder is hidden and you need to show hidden files.
Think that you found that out already, lol.

it is not a necessary software. Windows Defender would work just fine, or exclude that detection from the Behavior Blocker. You can also lighten up on the controls a bit.

Cheers.

I never liked it. Not enough granular control.

Then loosen the controls. Too tight is always going to cause headaches.

Do you guys remember this old program?

Is there anything similar for windows 10/11?
