What is SupTab?
The Malwarebytes research team has determined that SupTab is actually a very common mix of programs designed to hijack your browser(s) and stop you from changing the settings back.
These so-called "hijackers" manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. In this case the hijack was to isearch.omiga-plus.com. This one also displays advertisements.
Typically you will see a mix of detections: PUP.Optional.SupTab.A, PUP.Optional.OmigaPlus.A, PUP.Optional.WindowsProtectManger.A, PUP.Optional.XTab.A, PUP.Optional.IHProtect.A, PUP.Optional.FastStart.A and more.
How do I know if my computer is affected by SupTab?
