Localhost/Opera page at start – want rid

August 4th, 2016

Hi Fellow Hunters:
I am using Windows 7 Opera (latest version) upon starting :
I keep getting a tab with Donate as a label and this address everytime I start up Opera.
Local : file://localhost/C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/web.html
I would like to get ride but so far I have failed to remove it. I have ticked showing hidden files and folders in windows but once I reach the file C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows i find nothing related.
Any help please.
Thanks

Answer #1
Check the browsers shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Make sure that theres no website specified in the program path after the .exe
Answer #2
No, nothing there.
Thanks for trying
Answer #3
Sounds like its something in your options.
This is why I would never let anyone use Opera. It is terrible, lmao.
Answer #4
Try opening the exe without a shortcut ie go to its folder in program files.
Answer #5
That seams to work – but it does not remove the problem unless I keep opening as you have said.
Answer #6
Then its the shortcut that’s got the page in it, look at it again
Answer #7
Got the little blighter “alga.exe”
Thanks everyone for helping.
