What is Opera.exe?

Opera is a web browser and Internet suite developed by Opera Software. The browser handles common Internet-related tasks such as displaying web sites, sending and receiving e-mail messages, managing contacts, chatting on IRC, downloading files via BitTorrent, and reading web feeds. Opera is offered free of charge for personal computers and mobile phones.

Overview

opera.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges typically within the context of its parent runtimebroker.exe (Runtime Broker by Microsoft Corporation). It is set to be run when the PC boots and the user logs into Windows (added to the Run registry key for the current user). It has been configured with a firewall exception which allows both inbound and outbound network communication without being blocked. It is installed with a couple of know programs including Opera 12.14 published by Opera Software ASA, Opera 12.10 from Opera Software ASA and Opera 12.10 by Opera Software ASA.
