The genuine Update.exe file is a software component of Microsoft Windows Operating System by Microsoft Corporation.Microsoft Windows does use "update.exe" as a process name, for its Package Installer, (formerly Service Pack Setup), which applies system patches and updates downloaded from Microsoft Update or Windows Update servers, but the name is widely used by other legitimate software products and for disguise by malware. It is downloaded within a Windows self-unpacking executable (".exe") cabinet file. By default it runs from the temporary folder into which this file unpacks itself, ("C:\\updates\update.exe"). If located in the system root folder or in "C:\Windows" or its subfolders, it is at least 50% dangerous. The features controlled by command-line parameters inherited from the parent cabinet file's execution, and the parameters it accepts, depend on the version used when packaging the update. The version of "update.exe" that runs when installing one update or system patch may differ from that supplied inside another. Some updates install using "hotfix.exe" or the Windows Installer ("msiexec.exe").

This C:\program files x(86)\common files\omnisoft\update.exe obviously has nothing to do with FireFox. It's update program is located in its specific C:\program files x(86) or C:\program files directory. For this reason alone, I say the program has nefarious purposes.
I would start by creating an Eset firewall rule to block any outbound traffic from C:\program files x(86)\common files\omnisoft\update.exe. Make sure you enable event alert and log entry creation. When the alert occurs copy the Eset Network protection log entries related to the outbound traffic and post them in a forum reply.

At first I was worried about it being malicious and well, in a certain way I guess it is (just kidding) because its associated with Windows apps. Anyway, I found no posts which actually explained what it was so I figured I'd add this.
