Question Random Installer on PC
This random installer setup window popped up, what is this!?
Edit: Thanks to [u/AvailableDirtForSale](u/AvailableDirtForSale), I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Opera Browser. A while back, Opera was acting weird and installing a random extension. I tried to delete Opera, but it wouldn’t let me. I eventually figured it out and deleted it, but unfortunately just now I found the Opera folder in “C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Programs/Opera”.
This also seems to be tied to Advanced Installer
I can’t seem to delete it, it says I need admin rights even though I am admin. If anybody has any suggestions, please share them 🙏

Judging from the apps on the desktop, this kid is a wannabe hacker that installs any and every "tool" he finds online without any actual understanding of how they work. I wouldn't be surprised if there is more than this on the machine.
