Hello FrankStock,
That 'Omnibox' is a browser hijacker, malware that you will of course want to get rid of.
Would you please go the 3-bar menu => Add-ons => Extensions and remove anything you might see there that you didn't install yourself.
Do the same in Windows Control Panel => All Programs.
Then, would you please run every malware scan that is listed in this article :

Separate issue :
Your system details show that you need to update your Adobe Flash Player - you're running an older version, which can cause problems. Would you please uninstall your current version and install the latest version, which is 32.0.0.142
