Lop.com (Live Online Portal) is owned by C2Media,Lop is
distributed by sites such as MP3Search.com,
Lops very difficult to detect and remove due to random
filenames and so many different variants,you may need to
use programs like Microworlds Escan or Hijack this to
find the entries for this then you can manually remove
them.
Omegasearch like you say is affiliated to
lop.com .Omega's entries will be obvious in hijack this
so maybe use that if the scanners below dont clear it up.
Here's some info from Lop's site :

How do I uninstall one of your software products?
There are several methods available to you should you
wish to uninstall any of our software products you had
previously chosen to install:
- You can go to your Start Menu--Control Panel, then
choose the 'Add / Remove Programs' option. Depending on
which version of the software you have installed
locate 'Lop.com' or 'LOP SEARCH' or 'Window Searching'
or ''Window Active' or "Browser Enhancer" or "Ultimate
Browser Enhancer" or "Search Plugin" from the menu to run
the uninstaller.
- Depending on your version You may also be able to
locate a globe type icon in the bottom right hand corner
of your screen (near the clock), right click on it then
click Menu. From the main menu you will see a help button
on the top right hand corner. Click the help button then
choose 'uninstall'.
- Additionally a separate universal uninstall program may
be downloaded here

THIS !!!!)

I downloaded the uninstaller to test it before posting it
but its infected with a trojan downloader so this is just
going to add to the problems,it may remove lop but will
download a trojan that will try to download more crap,
and with it being infected i dont think its worth the
hassle.
