Native Info is the name of an advertising software also considered as a malicious one, mainly because its editor makes no effort in explaining the user just how much ads he/she will be forced to see once the program is installed.
Native Info has its own website, which by the way is usually blocked by Chrome and Firefox.

Chrome and Firefox block this website because if the program is installed it keeps making calls to this address.

Most of these ads will be seen tagged as Ads by Native Info or Powered by Native Info. Here’s how this infection looks like in Chrome and Firefox:
