Good catch by — browser code and the plugins that run inside them are a continual attack surface. ’s reminder about Opera shows that raw advisory counts don’t remove the need for defensive practice: fewer advisories at one point doesn’t mean “safe forever.” Below are practical, durable steps and quick troubleshooting routes that still apply years after this thread was started.

Immediate, prioritized steps:

  • Keep the browser and the operating system patched and enable automatic updates where possible.
  • Remove or disable unused plugins/controls (Java, old ActiveX, QuickTime, legacy PDF viewers, etc.).
  • Run the browser from a non-administrator account and use OS-level sandboxing or a browser that supports process isolation.
  • Use script/content blockers or a whitelist approach for third-party scripts on unfamiliar sites.
  • Back up profiles and bookmarks before making major changes so recovery is simple.

Troubleshooting and workflows worth using: when an update or extension behaves badly, launch the browser in safe mode (extensions disabled) to isolate the problem. Create a fresh profile to test whether corruption causes the issue. If automatic update fails, download the vendor installer from the official vendor site and reinstall; avoid third-party repackagers. For legacy browsers (for example only, those still kept for compatibility), segregate them on virtual machines or sandboxed environments so any exploit cannot reach your normal workspace.

A few cautions: blocking all scripting breaks many sites — accept a small whitelist or use temporary allowances. Antivirus and firewalls are useful but not a substitute for timely patches and minimizing exposed components. For historical threads like this, prioritize durable controls (least privilege, remove unused attack surface, isolate risky browsing) rather than chasing specific past advisories.

touche..

============Opera browser

The Secunia database currently contains 0 Secunia advisories marked as "Unpatched", which affects Opera 7.x.

This is based on the most severe Secunia advisory, which is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database....
...Currently, 0 out of 28 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database.

I interpret this as no current vulnerabilities with Opera as well ;)
so go hit http://www.opera.com/ and get the fastest browser on earth!
(and make sure its current!)

enjoy
