I am using opera browser as my default browser and when i saw the settings for browser protection i discovered that it does not support opera .

so is opera safe to be used with Norton AV ?  

and what if a malicious Web sites opened in opera what will happen ?

  • You will not have some of the browser protection features. You may not need those, though, since the attacks generally aren't targeted against Opera.
  • You will not get the anti-fraud/anti-phishing features

 

Malicious sites opened in Opera that try to deliver or drop malware will still be detected.

 

As a contribution to this , Opera has a great phising detection installed as well

for anti-phishing I am using opendns which supply agreat anti-phishing protection .

 

but the question what about sites that may drop viruses in opera cach and excute malcious codes ?

NIS should detect them but if you want good browser portection then Sandbox your browser.
