I've recently looked at my task manager an every time i restart the pc it says i have opera running, altho its not running! anyone know why or how? its Opera version 9.01 ive got now.
There is also a chance that some malware is masquerading as Opera. Use some advanced task manager like Process Explorer to see exactly what kind of opera.exe instances you have running.
I've checked on msconfig and theres nothin there about it, i do use feeds but not the widgets. an the feeds only work when opera is open. dont think its got a preloader cos i never saw anythin about it when i went to the site.
