Complete an Offer to Continue Virus

Complete an Offer to Continue Virus is a specific type of malware infection, because it is a screen locker that does not ask for your money, at least not directly. This computer threat does not allow you to access your desktop, displaying a list of surveys instead. It says that your normal access to desktop will be restored once you fill out the surveys, but that is not about to happen, so you have to remove Complete an Offer to Continue Virus from your computer if you want to access your desktop again.

In a way Complete an Offer to Continue Virus behaves very much like a ransomware infection, but the difference is that it doesn't ask for a ransom fee. Instead of a direct payment the criminals behind Complete an Offer to Continue Virus generate income for each survey that you fill out. When you get infected with this malware, your desktop is blocked and you see the following message:

Your desktop was locked. Complete an offer below to unlock your desktop!
Unlock this Page to Continue!
This page will immediately unlock and restore normal access upon your participation in an offer below. Please use valid information!
