Problem With Opera Bookmarks

[bakhalishta]

Hey,

I just started using Spybot Search & Destroy and I got to say, it's quite nice. The only problem I had (after running the first scan) is that all my Opera bookmarks were erased. Seeing as that never happened when I was using Ad-Aware (etc...), I think it's quite safe to think it might have been Spybot's fault. Has any of you guys encountered the same problem, and if yes, do you have any idea if there is a way to get my bookmarks back ?

Thanks !

P.S : I already tried to restore what I could, but it didn't do anything

I understand that it is probably of little consequence at this point, but have you read Spybot's Help facility concerning Ignore Cookies:

Heh, damn :p

Next time I'll remember to back up my bookmarks...

Thanks

When are they going to fix this big issue with the program screwing up Opera Cookies and bookmarks? It almost makes me want to uninstall the program.

what version of the Opera browser are you using, bakhalishta?

I use Opera 8.51 and my opera bookmarks are still there after I did a scan with Spybot. They didnt get trashed. I had to make sure that Opera is not running before I launched Spybot.

Opera bookmarks should be saved on the opera6.adr file. Search for all traces of that file. There might be multiple copies of that file if more than one user profile is used.

btw - Opera cookies are stored in the cookies4.dat file.
