  • ConsumerInput Removal Guide

    Consumerinput is a potentially unwanted program that displays surveys in your web browser while you are browsing the web. These surveys will be displayed in new tabs on your browser and request that you take a survey in order to receive a free prize or to enter a giveaway. These surveys, though, are very intrusive with flashing colors or audio that contains repeating voices that ask you to take the survey. When these surveys are displayed they will be labeled as Consumerinput Survey.

    Consumerinput is a potentially unwanted program that displays surveys in your web browser while you are browsing the web. These surveys will be displayed in new tabs on your browser and request that you take a survey in order to receive a free prize or to enter a giveaway. These surveys, though, are very intrusive with flashing colors or audio that contains repeating voices that ask you to take the survey. When these surveys are displayed they will be labeled as Consumerinput Survey.
    It is important to note that programs like ConsumerInput are installed with other free programs that you download from the Internet. In order to generate revenue from free programs, developers will use installers that bundle adware or other unwanted programs with their free program. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers youÂ*CustomÂ*orÂ*AdvancedÂ*installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
    In my opinion, the ConsumerInput potentially unwanted program was created to generate revenue for the developers through the use of surveys. I personally see no added benefit to this program and advise you to uninstall it from your computer using the guide below.
