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.

The first sentence is very poor grammar; use 2. I suggest discarding I was and through . I came across this software while searching the Internet.
