    You could try downloading MalwareBytes, Eset online scanner & Adwcleaner & also run your anti virus software to see if anything is found.
    MBAM: https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_2x
    Eset: Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scan from ESET | ESET
    Awcleaner: Downloads - AdwCleaner - ToolsLib

    I've added version 2 of MBAM as it's still the most stable version - ver 3 has many problems.

    Not at home just now. But I ran a smart scan of Avast and it found nothing. Also updated Opera to the latest version. But still the same. Had a look at extensions and they are all disabled. So I haven't a clue what it is. I will give them a go when I get home. Thanks for your help.

    Make sure you check the scan for root kits under MBAM & Eset - under advanced for Eset iirc.

    OK will do thank you.

    Do you think Malwarebytes exaggerates to get you to buy the program? surely Windows defender and now Avast has not let this much get passed correct?

    Imo no MalwareBytes will find the same problems as the paid for version, the only difference is the paid version has auto protection so will catch anything before it infects your pc, ver 3 has combined MBAM & MB anti exploit so once the bugs are ironed out it'll give even better protection but the free version is still a manual scanner. There's usually a chance to try the premium version for 30 days (I thing it's 30 days) before deciding whether to purchase, it gives you all the features so may be something to consider.
    MBAM isn't one of those companies where it scans for free but you have to pay to then clean anything it finds.
    It is possible as Win defender & avast while are anti virus they do not scan for potentially unwanted applications nor potentially unwanted programs, No anti virus is 100% effective & usually free ones have a lower detection rate than paid av software.

    PUP's detection is disabled by default in Avast and WD.
