Grammar

present or past

I want to send an email to my friend and tell him about a software that I've found by searching through the Internet, which of these sentences are correct in this situation:

1) I've come across this software while I've been searching through the Internet.

2) I came across this software while I was searching through the Internet.

Thanks in advance.
