Sorry for the wrong Subject line,; changing it to "Invalid 
URL".  Thanks for the suggestion on configuration but I don't think 
anything has changed since I installed 9.23 a month or two ago.  I 
assume that is a message from Opera and not my spyware or anti-virus, 
both AVC.  When I hover the mouse over the link, the tooltip of 
"Invalid URL" pops up but it does that for many URLs and, on 
clicking, usually brings it up.  Can't figure what setting might be 
doing it.  Thanks all for confirming the problem is with my setup.
