As far as the origins of this application are concerned, Information Vent belongs to the SuperWeb family of adware applications. The common feature of these programs is that they all have official homepages, but they do not function properly. The official site for Information Vent is located at informationvent.com, and it has the typical SuperWeb adware website’s layout, but the page does not offer you any kind of useful information. Thus, just like Cooking up Coupons, Razor Web, Polished Patterns, and a number of other applications, Information Vent manages to enter target systems only through the bundled downloads.

Once the program is installed on your PC, Information Vent will employ tracking cookies to collect information on what websites you visit. When it has enough information collected, Information Vent will display pop-up ads labelled “Ads by Information Vent” or “Provided by Information Vent.” These pop-ups may look like something useful, especially as their content will be related to your most recent web search, but do not be fooled by that. Information Vent is not responsible for the third-party content, so you can never know what kinds of links are embedded into the pop-ups.
