Omni-search.net virus - How to remove

Omni-search.net virus is indistinguishable from Blasearch.com as both of their interfaces have no contrasting elements. Our investigation began with us trying to find out whether this third-party search engine will do an adequate job in executing search queries. The primary thing we witnessed was that during search-execution, Blpsearch.com is briefly displayed in the address bar.

After a few seconds pass, outcomes to entered keywords are presented in an URL of Us.search.yahoo.com. In this Yahoo page that we got rerouted from Omni-search.net, we noticed that some sponsored links are unusual for Yahoo to present. For instance, an addition of Shop.KhanaPakana.com is not usually promoted in the top-positions of Yahoo, but the platform from BlaSearch Ltd. has no issues in addressing the negative feedback that former online-shoppers have expressed.

Let’s discuss this browser hijacker

Hijackware samples can cause endless security breaches. It would be fine if Omni-search.net engine would promote respectable services and engage in only dignified activities. According to Pcmag.com, there certain affairs that should be considered before an engine from unknown developers is permitted access home pages, default search providers and start pages:

“The search bar program can contain spyware to record every search you make and site you visit. With this knowledge, the search bar vendor can send targeted advertising to you based on your preferences. You’ll find random pop-ups start occurring at a more frequent rate, and you may be redirected to sites you didn’t request.”

These habits have been mentioned in the reports, reviewing Omni-search.net virus. Highest revenues from web traffic are generated by people from United States of America. It is clearly a variation of Blasearch.com which we discoverer in January of 2017. However, the License Agreement reveals that you are giving consent for Socopoco to have no obligation to provide you with respectable/malware-free links via Omni-search.net:

Developers that have produced a series of deceptive third-party engines conceal their identity: therefore, if you suffer any financial damages from rogue websites it promotes, the unidentified scammers will get away with it. They have programmed their search platforms to present search results in a page that would almost identical to Search.yahoo.com, but in fact, it will be significantly modified. This leads to a mash-up of websites: a part of them are regular, and the other part could be aiming to damage users in one way or another.
