Is tvinteractive.tv a scam?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on tvinteractive.tv. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is tvinteractive.tv safe to use?

tvinteractive.tv passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 95/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

How old is the tvinteractive.tv domain?

tvinteractive.tv is 16.6 years old, registered on 12/3/2009 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has tvinteractive.tv been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report tvinteractive.tv as clean.

Is tvinteractive.tv on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. tvinteractive.tv is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is tvinteractive.tv hosted?

tvinteractive.tv resolves to an IP operated by Amazon Data Services Northern Virginia in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

Is tvinteractive.tv a well-known website?

Yes. tvinteractive.tv sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

How often is the tvinteractive.tv report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 24, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around tvinteractive.tv have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The domain has been active for over 6,000 days and is officially tied to Cognitive Media Networks, a company VIZIO acquired in 2015. Our analysis confirms it serves as a backend hub for VIZIO's SmartCast and Inscape data systems. While it frequently appears on ad-blocking lists due to the data it collects from TVs, there is no evidence of malicious intent or phishing. The hosting IP and domain history show a consistent, professional ownership record. It is now part of the broader Walmart-owned VIZIO ecosystem.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on tvinteractive.tv and not a lookalike like t-vinteractive.tv.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
