Yes this was what I was mentioning on my previous post. This is a NTFS 
feature it doesn't matter which browser you use to download.

Windows makes use of NTFS streams to mark a downloaded file as dangerous.

I never used Opera, so that might be the reason why I my experience is 
different than yours. FF and Chrome are integrated into this security 
mechanisms.
