What is a Browser Helper Object?

ActiveSearch is a Browser Helper Object.

A Browser Helper Object, also known as BHO, is a DLL module designed as a plugin for your browser to provide added functionality. BHOs allows program developers to monitor and control IE browser. When you open your browser, it reads the registry to locate installed BHO’s and then creates them. BHO’s then have access to all the events and properties of that browsing session. Some BHOs come from legitimate programs but others are developed by spyware developers. Spyware BHOs may be installed on your computer without your knowledge and they can be used for malicious purposes like gathering info on your Internet surfing habits. You must investigate and decide whether you want to disable or re-enable BHOs.
