Omiga Plus is an adware that infects systems like a lightning

Omiga Plus is a questionable search engine, which was created by Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology. No matter that it looks harmless, you should know that security experts have already labeled it as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted program.
Officially, it should help people to organize their desktops and should also help them to hide unused icons. However, there are many PC users who have reported about unexpected discovery of this program on their computers
If you want to avoid this or another potentially unwanted program, you have to be very careful when downloading freeware or shareware to your computer because there are hundreds of applications that have been involved in the distribution of Omiga Plus virus.
Please, rely only on the Custom or Advanced installation method if you want to prevent infiltration of this and other browser hijackers. If this program manages to infiltrate its target PC system, it may make several modifications to it. For example:
it can easily change the start page or default search engine to isearch.omiga-plus.com, start displaying various pop-up ads, slow the work of the system and may also initiate other unwanted activities, such as recording of people's browsing habits.
If you know that you have never downloaded this application to your computer, we recommend you to remove Omiga Plus from the system. Otherwise, you may notice many inconveniences that may start interrupting each of your search sessions.
If you want to get rid of Omiga Plus, we recommend using reliable anti-spyware software. For example, you can use SpyHunterCombo Cleaner or MalwarebytesMalwarebytes.
Ways how PUP can hijack your computer and how to prevent the computer from that
Just like any other suspicious browser add-on, extension, toolbar, or plugin, this particular PUP can be downloaded from its official website or other sites that have been involved in its distribution. However, that's not the only method, which is used for its distribution.
Beware that it may also show up on your machine after downloading such programs as a PDF creator, download manager, video recording software, video streaming software, or other freeware. This distribution method is quite unfair because users are not clearly warned about additional downloads that will also try to come inside their computer systems. That's why you have to be very careful when downloading freeware and shareware to your computer.
In order to avoid PUP infiltration, you should opt only for Custom or Advanced installation when downloading freeware from the Internet. In addition, uncheck every unknown check box that shows up during the installation of your free program and continue your installation process.
If adware has already appeared on your computer, it might be that it has affected each of your web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc. So, if want to get rid of it, you will have to fix each of these browsers. The easiest way to do that is with a help of a guide that is given below.
Omiga Plus virus removal ways
When you try to eliminate Omiga Plus virus from your computer, you should first uninstall this program with all other apps that are related to it. This potentially unwanted program has many executable files that stay on the system, hides, and runs in the background that's why you need to perform a complete deletion.
After successful Omiga Plus removal, we recommend that you still use a reliable antivirus program and carefully install new software. Otherwise, you risk downloading a potentially unwanted program again in the future.

True, it did infect my computer. I think it was with an installation I did before, probably the codecs I downloaded. I hope that will not happen again.
