IdeaReference

The IdeaReference application is a utility that is only compatible with Mac computers. Dodgy applications targeting Mac users have been growing in popularity recently.

The IdeaReference tool has no cool features or useful tools to offer you. The purpose of the IdeaReference application is to deliver promoted content to its users. To do this, IdeaReference redirects the users to third-party, affiliated websites or displaying advertisements when they are trying to browse the Web. This dubious application is likely to redirect your search queries through a low-quality search engine called Safe Finder Search. Once the IdeaReference application is installed on your Mac, it will make sure to gain persistence by creating a new ‘Launch Daemon.’ This ensures that the dodgy tool will be launched upon every system reboot.

It is recommended to remove the IdeaReference application from your Mac computer. The best approach in this situation is to install a legitimate, modern anti-spyware suite that will locate and eliminate the IdeaReference utility.
