Verdict Low Risk

This unsigned installer behaves like Opera GX setup and none of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, but the missing signature and short history (seen shortly…

Why not Safe? It has no verified publisher signature and only 2 sources had seen it when we scanned it.
Limited evidence · Nothing points to a problem, but little confirms who made it.
Get Opera GX from Opera's official website and confirm the installer is signed by Opera before running it. Avoid this unsigned copy if you cannot verify where it came from.
Good practice2 tips
Low Risk: no threat found, but we could not fully confirm this file.
Get it from the publisher's own website or app store, not from a re-upload or a link someone sent you.
Keep your security software on, and stop if the file does anything you didn't expect.

Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, and the sandbox runs show a typical Opera GX installation contacting Opera servers. However, the file carries no digital signature and has only been seen by two submitters when we scanned it on Oct 18, 2026. That makes it impossible to confirm it is the official Opera release.
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines, and no external threat database lists it. Across five sandbox runs it unpacked an Opera GX installer, wrote Opera registry keys and contacted Opera-owned services. No process injection or other high-risk behaviour was recorded. The host reputation check covered the contacted servers and found none known to be malicious. Still, the file is unsigned, while official Opera installers are normally signed by Opera. It is also rare and only one day old, so its publisher cannot be verified.
What We Detected
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, including all major antivirus engines. No public malware database or malware-specific rule matched it. The executable is not packed, but it carries no digital signature, and it has been seen only twice, within its first day.
Threat Behavior
Five sandbox runs show the file extracting an installer, installing Opera GX into the user profile, registering browser file associations and contacting Opera update and configuration servers. No injection into other processes and no other high-risk technique was recorded. The sandbox also attached some generic technique labels, but nothing observed backed them up.
What To Do Now
If you want Opera GX, download the installer directly from Opera's official website. Before running it, check that it is digitally signed by Opera. Keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Every engine, every external database and the sandbox runs found nothing hostile, and the activity in the test run matches a genuine Opera GX installation, so the file may well be a legitimate Opera build.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it
- Sandbox runs showed a normal Opera GX installation with no high-risk techniques
- No listing in public malware databases or matches on malware-specific rules
- Contacted servers belong to Opera, and none is known to be malicious
- The installer has no digital signature, unlike official Opera installers
- Rare and recently observed, with only two submitters
