Posted: August 22, 2019

InformationVine is the name of a browser extension whose installation may lead to unforeseen changes to your Web browser's settings. The primary purpose of this add-on is to promote the Web page informationvine.com by setting it as the default new tab page or homepage – this ensures that any user who has the InformationVine extension installed will generate a lot of traffic for the website in question.

Since the informationvine.com website hosts a search engine, it is likely that the InformationVine add-on's installation might impose another change that concerns the Web browser's default search settings – all search queries might be redirected to InformationVine.com. While this search engine does work, it would appear to prioritize sponsored content, so it is possible that particular search queries might promote websites who have paid for a top spot on InformatioVvine.com.

If you find yourself encountering the InformationVine.com website while using your Web browser and you do not wish for this activity to continue, then we suggest that you check the list of installed Web browser extensions for the presence of 'InformationVine.' If you do not intend to use this website and the add-on, then you can remove them either manually or with the use of a security tool.
