It’s a program conceived by the company Compete Inc, requesting users to fill out surveys when they are infected by it. Trust us when we tell you that nothing good and no gain can come for you from having this software installed, the only ones that get something out of it are the members of Compete Inc, because they can certainly sell all data you enter and all of you answers.

It’s also possible that Consumer Input shows ads when it’s not asking for some new survey to be filled up.
