opera 9.6 and opera.dll

Could someone please verify what I am observing:
Today I updated Opera to the latest version 9.6. Now when clicking on the "opera.exe" icon, LnS pops up and requests permission for "opera.dll" to be started by "opera.exe". If I deny the request, Opera will never connect to the internet at all.

This is a totally new behavior of Opera on my computer. Does any of you get the same message from LnS when running the latest Opera??

Thanks a lot for help!

Hi Thomas M

Strange...

I have Opera 9.6 and opera.dll in the opera folder but LnS never ask for an authorisation for this dll ...
The only opera dll I have is the one related to shockwave plugin NPSWF32.dll.

May be this opera.dll is used only for the first run of opera just after the installation.

To check if this dll is in use you may add it manually in the LnS dll config option and in the 4 th column set it to be logged.

No better idea.

 

Thanks Climenole for your reply!

Hmm, I knew something is fishy here
I have 3 computers and all of them show the same behavior. Please take a look at the attached picture: It seems, clicking on the opera.exe starts opera.dll, which in turn starts opera.exe ?? (something like a loopback or so??).

Update: I got one of those new netbooks, which was initially filled with Windows just 1 month ago. And here I do not get the LNS popup for the opera.dll.... Sh***

Looks like I need to reinstall the other 2 machines...

 

Update 2:
Ok, I found it It is somehow related to the security software "A-squared" (A2), which is also running on my system.
When the background guard of A2 is active, Opera only works after permission of the "Opera.dll" by LnS.
I will contact the people from A2 to get further insides into the issue.

Thanks again Climenole for your reply
