Download offers are very simple to complete and usually comprise of a toolbar or a small program for you to download. They can carry up to 100+ points, depending on the type of download! For the purposes of this guide, the offer is "Graboid - Free tv and movies" -15 points Upon clicking "visit offer", you will be greeted by a page similar to this- You need to click the "Download Now" button! 
You will see a screen like so - You can click either of the buttons, and your download will initialize! 
Here you will need to click "Save file" 
Once the download has completed, you can double click on it to start the installer! You should see a box like the one shown below. Click the "ok" button to continue 
It will likely give you another security warning, Click "Run" to start the install
As with any installation, you may need to click a few "next" buttons, or select some extra options to customize your instal. These aren't really necessary if you are going to be removing it after approval. (see the bottom of the page for more info) 
Aha! An obligatory License Agreement Page! Read through if you wish, or just click the "I agree" button! 
The program should now run and install the downloaded program on your computer. Once this has happened, you will see something like the following screen
Now all you do is click "Finish"! On MOST Download offers, this will be more than enough to mark as complete and claim your points, however this particular download required that you create an account with the advertisers, the screenshots of which can be found below. 
Now, you can return and mark the offer as complete! Tips for success! Use Sandboxie! We cannot guarantee 100% that downloads will be clean, therefore it is ALWAYS recommended to have an active virus scanner running, and if in doubt, use a small program called "Sandboxie". This downloads and installs ALL new programs into a seperate, safe section of your harddrive! Do NOT remove the program immediately! Please, do not remove the program from your computer as soon as the offer has approved and your points awarded. The advertisers CAN detect when you uninstal their programs and MAY reverse the points if you uninstal too fast! Uninstalling is okay, but it is recommended that you keep the program for at LEAST a week after approval. If the offer hasn't approved after 24-48 hours, then you can uninstall. Congratulations! You have just completed a download offer! For more help and tips and to see the walkthroughs for other offers, click the link below!
