Omiga Plus Screenshot 1Omiga Plus is a desktop organizer program that's promoted by sites with known ties to rogue system anti-spyware products like SpySheriff. Although Omiga Plus currently only is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program and doesn't appear to have many questionable functions, Omiga Plus may be difficult to uninstall and installed without your consent (either as part of a multiple-software bundle or as a drive-by-download). Omiga Plus isn't malware, but because of Omiga Plus's close ties with actual malware, malware researchers suggest avoiding installing Omiga Plus and using anti-malware programs to delete Omiga Plus or other programs from the same company if it's needed.

Omiga Plus: a Little Desktop Addition that Will not Get Out

Omiga Plus is a utility for managing the appearance and shortcuts of your Windows desktop. Omiga Plus doesn't include any questionable functions that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have noted thus far and does perform its desktop functions as marketed. However, Omiga Plus also has a history of refusing to uninstall itself entirely and may leave its desktop changes on your PC even if most other components of Omiga Plus have been removed.

Potentially Unwanted Programs usually are independent products, but Omiga Plus is just one of several applications marketed by the same company that's responsible for SpySheriff. Since the latter is a confirmed rogue anti-spyware product that detects fake spyware infections as a way of encouraging you to spend money on its registration process, any programs related to Omiga Plus should be viewed as a potential threat by default. Omiga Plus, alone, is not likely to cause many problems, but may be installed along with other PC threats that may:

  • Display fake system alerts.
  • Snag other programs without your consent.
  • Hijack your Web browser and redirect it.

How to Subtract Omiga Plus from Your Desktop

As stated before, deleting Omiga Plus is a less-than-straightforward process, and entirely removing Omiga Plus may require anti-malware tools or some assistance from a PC security professional. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers particularly encourage the use of extensive and complete anti-malware scans while removing Omiga Plus, since anything less than that could allow related PC threats to remain installed on your hard drive.

As an independent program, Omiga Plus is more of an irritant than a threat. However, applications from companies that are known to peddle malware never should be trusted – and anyone who wishes to reorganize their desktop is recommended to use more reputable tools than Omiga Plus for doing so.

Omiga Plus, as would be expected from its functions, currently is specific to Windows platforms such as Windows XP, 7 or Vista. However, fake anti-malware products that are related to Omiga Plus installations often will display some degree of compatibility with additional operating systems.

    I have tried, but I am unable to uninstall Omega-plus.com. I think it may have infiltrated my system while using Skype for the first time on my P.C. just recently

  • Jurdicélio says:

    Eu atualizei o Google Ghrome e junto veio o Omiga-plus, eu não consigo desinstalar ele do meu pc, já desinstalei do meu painel de controle, mas, ele continua se manisfestando.
    E eu quero elimina-lo do meu pc.
    então por favor me diga o que fazer
