Using the search engine allows the search.exe file to take note of the session of the user, the subject of search, sites involved and any other data pertaining to the files being searched. The information collected from the user will be used as reference and will build the history records of the browser. The search.exe file enables the user to go back to a web page where he or she has searched before. It is capable of monitoring the activities of the user by creating a log on all the details pertaining to the Internet use of the user. This process is being utilized by WhenU Search. WhenU Search also records everything about what the user is browsing over the Internet. Then it uses the information on selecting what ads to show the user when logged online.
