'''3721 Internet Assistant''' was originally released as a normal client-server application. However, it turned to use [[ActiveX]] technology to install itself on a client system later and was also shipped with many sharewares as default install options. '''3721 Internet Assistant''' was also blamed for its use of a flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer to install itself automatically when a user is browsing an array of 3721 sponsored personal and commercial websites with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Yahoo! Assistant is also included in 3721 Chinese Keywords and [[Yahoo! Mail Express]], but sometimes the whole package of Internet Assistant, Chinese Keywords and Mail Express is named "Yahoo Assistant" in some sharewares. The company says the automatic installation ended in September 2005 and now asks user's permission before installing,<ref>http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,20420041^15841^^nbv^,00.html{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> however, [[CA Inc.]] reported that during Yahoo! Assistant installation, extra components are installed without obtaining user's consent.<ref>http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/blogs/posting.aspx?pid=93143&id=90744{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
