Its security features include built-in phishing and malware protection and the ability to delete private data such as HTTP cookies.
Overview

A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is opera.exe. The software installer includes 13 files and is usually about 45.98 MB (48,216,652 bytes).
