[Solved]"Ads by Royals" - how to remove it from Opera under Arch linux

Hello!

Guys, i need help. For the first time i had seen that browser, under linux, could catch malware/virus. I have it now. "ads by Royals". Could somebody point me to a good direction? I tried to check via google, but everything that i found is for Windows machines. I use only 3 or 4 plugins for Opera, nothing more. I'm complete rooki when comes to antyviruses and so on under linux - never needed them.

Help. This "ads by Royals" drives me crazy.

It seems to be a browser extension and should be listed in chrome://extensions/
Alternatively you manaed to install the windows executable with wine?

Did you disable all extensions and test if the issue was still present?

No, i will try it.

Edit: you were right. It was some plugin that was installed as an extension for Opera.

Thank you.

BTW - didn't know that it could case something like this when in description there was nothing about adverts!
