ReferenceBoss works as a toolbar that expands your search horizons. ReferenceBoss is a product of the famous Mindspark adware franchise, and it is tightly connected to ads, banners, in-text hyperlinks and pop-ups. ReferenceBoss can be classified as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because it may deliver the promised functionality, but it will change your home page, search provider, inject ads in pages you visit and display many pop-ups. ReferenceBoss toolbar is known to come with many freeware installers as an extra tool. You may detect ReferenceBoss being a part of your freeware setup when you chose the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option. Computer users that are exposed to many ads by ReferenceBoss toolbar may want to remove it.
