         8 . The processor engine according to  claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is arranged to create a plurality of further connections to the Internet using at least one different source internet protocol (IP) address. 
     
     
         9 . The processor engine according to  claim 8 , wherein the at least one different source internet protocol (IP) address comprises a source IP address from a different country. 
     
     
         10 . The processor engine according to  claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is arranged to request a further search of the at least one search term on the at least one Internet search engine using a different language of the at least one search term. 
     
     
         11 . The processor engine according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further arranged to write a log entry into a log file that contains information on at least one from a group comprising: date of searching the at least one website, date of loading the at least one search term; date of access the at least one website, time of searching the at least one website; the at least one search term, the at least one target list, at least one source internet protocol (IP) address used, a language of the at least one search term, a source IP address country. 
     
     
         12 . The processor engine according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is confined to perform a search within a specified, region, country or continent. 
     
     
         13 . The processor engine according to  claim 1 , further comprising an anonymous proxy application software module arranged to create an anonymous relay to at least one from a group comprising: the Internet, the at least one Internet search engine, at least one website. 
     
     
         14 . The processor engine according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further arranged to navigate automatically around the identified at least one website before exiting. 
     
     
         15 . The processor engine according to  claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further arranged to navigate automatically around the identified at least one website for at least one from a group comprising: a set period of time, a random period of time, a search-term dependent period of time. 
     
     
         16 .
