If isearch.omiga-plus.com is the first page you see when you launch your Web client, and you didn't set it as your homepage manually, you should know you are infected with a browser hijacker. These tiny applications may sneak in without the knowledge of the user. They may come bundled with other freeware, which means that you may load them when you give permission for the installation of the main program. To counter this misleading marketing method, you should always perform the setup process through the ‘Advanced‘ menu and ignore any additions. When the hijacker behind isearch.omiga-plus.com enters, it may quickly modify the settings of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. As a result, you may start witnessing this search platform consistently. You should know that it is not legitimate and should not be trusted. The results may consist of sponsored links, which lead to third-party affiliate pages. These hidden advertisements may worsen the process of finding information significantly. However, the time you may lose if you use isearch.omiga-plus.com may not be your biggest problem. You can never know where the provided links will take you – there is a real chance that some of the promoted platforms are threatening in some way. These sites may encourage you to download questionable software or trick you into calling bogus IT technicians. Since browser hijackers may be very stubborn, you should complete the removal process with a special anti-malware application.
