I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard and then installed,

- iWork '09
- iLife '09
- Office 2008
- Adobe CS 3

Then, randomly, I right-clicked a file and chose the "Send file" service. After that, Opera opens on my computer!? I never even installed Opera. Stranger, I cannot find Opera anywhere (physically) on my computer. A Spotlight search finds nothing. How can I have an application on my computer that apparently does not exist and cannot be found in any search? I never install any add-ons, etc.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

had the same thing with photoshop elements. sorry don't recall the specifics, but it's in a hidden directory. if you google you should be able to find removal instructions (again, sorry for my poor memory)
 
Opera is included in Adobe CS3 if it included Dreamweaver.
Annoyingly, it's included even if you didn't install Dreamweaver (in CS4 at least).

Opera is included in Adobe Bridge. If you right-click on the Bridge app and select Show Package Contents, you can find it in a sub-folder.
