Opera Web browser/Spyware Doctor

[imhotep]

Hi peeps!!
I just want to know anyone's comments and reviews/ratings on the following two websites....

Opera Web browser, and
PC Tools Spyware Doctor (i have this,but i don't use it much)

I am using Mozilla Firefox at the moment,and I am wondering whether to change to Opera.
Is Opera a better Browser? Coz,Firefox with me is getting on my nerves most times when I click on a website such as this one.It gives a prompt of the following every time:-

Insecure Internet activity. Threat of virus attack
Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms and trojans without your knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes and crashes.
Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information.
To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, register Antivirus 2008.
We recommend you to protect your PC now and continue safe Internet browsing.
Click here to get full advanced real-time protection and continue browsing.
Continue to this website unprotected (not recommended).
I have tried to click on the option where it says 'Click here to get full advanced....' but it does not work.
So any comments on these websites are very welcome.
Many thanks!!

Your problem isn't Firefox, but a malware infestation on your machine. Try downloading MalwareBytes free version ( http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ) and use it to try to remove the infestation.
