    Avast keeps telling me it's blocking a malicious url no matter to which website I visit. The part of the url is hosting.x10hosting.com/?version . I can't find a way to get the complete address from Avast logs -_- Anyways it only happens if I use Opera. It doesn't happen if I use IE or Lunascape with firefox plugin.

    Before posting I used Ccleaner to check if if by cleaning all the history it would get fixed but no luck. I don't use webrep. I will try reinstalling Opera.

    did you try to uninstall opera and do a full clean up of it and then reinstall it? backup your bookmarks etc and then reinstall and test it again

    On XP, Avast free, full address of suspicious URL is in the log here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVAST Software\Avast\log\nshield.log
    and then you can go to check and get information about scripts here
    urlQuery.net
    Just give it time to process, scroll down and much gets revealed.

    Thanks all for your help. I reinstalled Opera. I do have adblock installed but I never had the server options activated. Anyways the problem seems to be solved now.

    Oh and now I know how to check Avast log thanks. I Avast should make this accessible through the gui.
