Stay safe with Opera Mini

September 30, 2011 · by Aleksander Aas

We just got a pretty scary report from Chasapple on Twitter regarding a Opera Mini malware being spread around Russia. This is a good time to remind you to always stay safe when downloading files Online. You should always either use m.opera.com or a safe download site like GetJar or Handster!

If you are curious, Trendlabs Malware Blog posted this picture of the fake site. Stay safe kids!

TL;DR: Download Opera Mini from m.opera.com.

I think Opera Mini is the best without a doubt. But m.opera.com is very bad. Do it more beautiful!

I download directly from mini.opera.com and everyday am checking to see if there's any upgrade for my 6300

I don't support handler mods or whatever them call it.

I'm suprised to see that Getjar is safer than Opera Store

opera mini is the best web browser in the world.

For a long time I have been a GetJar afficionado but of late, I have decided to steer clear of it due to its frequent tendency to claim to provide an app but when you download it, it's not the app you wanted.
I would stick to m.opera.com if i were you.
