I have confirmed that Webroot is the offender as I can run Opera just fine when I shut down protection.

Opera updates often blocked by Webroot
I do not know what's different and it's not every update, but often when Opera updates and I go to run it I get this error message. The error message "fixes" were useless as it turns out Webroot is somehow blocking the program.

I don't have the issue with Opera, Windows 10 64 Bit Pro and Webroot Secure Anywhere.
What heurestic setting are you using?
I am using "Enable enhanced heurestics ......."
I did have an issue a long time ago with another application and at that time was using maximum heurestics and was advised to use a lesser setting which fixed the issue.

My heuristic setting is the same. I am using Opera 60.0.3255.83.
Same version number here 64Bit Build.
I upgraded about an hour ago.
Is Opera working now?
If not try lowering the heurestic setting.

I'll try changing it to Standard. I also have infrared or whatever.
Okay it did not work. I will just leave Webroot shut down until the next update and hopefully it will work. This has been going on for half a year.

I have infrared enabled. If you disable heurestics still no go?
Nope, I guess that's not the issue. Thanks for trying to help. I have no problems with any other browsers or programs.
Thanks, I know it doesn't affect everyone which is odd but am hoping I'm not alone so they can figure it out.

Thanks I remember that thread, It's weird though since it doesn't affect all my builds, just certain ones. I'm going through the "Application Protection" section now as I see a bunch of Opera ones with "deny" on them. I'll report back.
Okay awesome, thanks again I think it's working now.
The offender was "opera_elf.dll" which was set to deny for some reason.

Good to hear it is fixed and thank you for getting back.
