Search Omiga

Posted: September 30, 2020

The Search Omiga is a strange browser add-on that may be promoted via online advertisements and pop-ups, which describe this add-on as a handy utility capable of enhancing various Web browser features. However, the truth about the Search Omiga is that it has been designed with the sole purpose of generating revenue for its creators by redirecting its users to 3rd-party search engines like Keysearchs.com. While these redirects are not unsafe, they may ruin your Web browsing experience by forcing you to use unfamiliar pages. Furthermore, it is possible that Search Omiga's redirect rules may be modified at any time, therefore making it possible for the add-on to redirect users to shady websites.

The Search Omiga and the search engine associated with it, Keysearchs.com, do not pose a threat to your computer. However, using them for prolonged periods may result in seeing more advertisements than usual. Furthermore, the Search Omiga will make sure to set Keysearchs.com as the default search engine your Web browser uses.

The Search Omiga is considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP,) and it exhibits intrusive and annoying behavior undoubtedly. It is recommended to avoid installing this PUP. If you have already completed its installation, then we suggest removing it by running a suitable PC security tool.
