isearch.omiga-plus.com

There is no doubt that isearch.omiga-plus.com is a search engine which could be used by a malicious browser hijacker. Even though at first the search engine may seem completely reliable and even useful, soon enough you should be able to realize that it cannot be trusted. Many computer users are familiar with the Omiga Plus desktop manager available from omiga-plus.com, and both the manager and the search engine are presented by Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology. As research shows, the browser hijacker can be bundled with this application, as well as Desk 365 and SoftStud. Have you noticed any of these programs running on your operating Windows system? Then check the browsers to figure out whether you need to delete isearch.omiga-plus.com hijacker as well.

Have you heard of the Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology Ltd before? It is the company which stands behind start.Qone8.com which is also used as a browser hijacker. Alongside the Omiga Plus search engine it produces advertisement-supported search results and can present you with unreliable advertisements. As our researchers have revealed, the clandestine hijacker can also modify the Properties of your web browser shortcuts, which is why every time you change your home page and search provider settings you discover that you were unsuccessful. This is a seriously clandestine trick that schemers have created to push you into using isearch.omiga-plus.com. If you have checked the Privacy Policy represented through the search engine you should be aware that its developers “cannot guarantee that Personal Information will not be subjected to unauthorized access”, and so using the search engine is not what you need to do.

If you do not want to be rerouted to websites which could harbor malware or which could get you involved in various virtual schemes, you should remove isearch.omiga-plus.com from your browsers as soon as you possibly can. To delete this type of a browser hijacker you firstly need to reconfigure the Properties of your browser shortcuts. Once this is done you will have no issues changing your home page and search provider settings. If you are not sure as to how to perform the removal task – follow the steps provided below. Most importantly, you need to install a reliable, automatic malware detection and removal tool to have the computer scanned, additional infections deleted and the entire system safeguarded against potential schemers’ attacks in the future.

    1.Right click on Firefox / Chrome shortcut icon.
    2. Click on Properties.
    3. In the Shortcut tab, check the Target value. it must be "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" for firefox and "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" for chrome, nothing else.
    4. Remove any extra link from their, hopefully it will work.

  27. amy jo Oct 11, 2014

    did'nt work for me ..

  28. Mike Oct 14, 2014

    Followed steps for Chrome,didn't work.HOWEVER found a way that does ..... Go Into Regedit (Windows Key + R ,type in "regedit". Once you are in Regedit: Click EDIT - Find - Type in "omiga" Delete all entries . Keep searching until all omiga references are deleted .... Launch your browser.

  29. Sobak Ava Oct 15, 2014

    Manu is right.


    RIGHT CLICK ON CHROME SHORTCUT
    click PROPERTIES

    And Target should be
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" for firefox
    "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" for chrome.

    Omiga changes Shortcut's Target string too. You simply need to fix the shortcut after you completed steps above.

    It finally WORKED for me

  30. Arvind Nov 30, 2014

    Didn't work for me.. Tried a few manual fixes too. This tool worked out though: free and ads free.. I would recommend it if manual instructions are working out for you..
