Abstract
Described are methods of a server and for processing an email message. Also described are user interfaces. A user may forward unopened email message and/or URLs to a service provider for analysis of whether the unopened email message or URL is configured to download executable code. The service provider may operate with a server. The server may determine if executable code is present in the email message and/or is downloadable via a website. The executable code may be determined to be malicious. It is also described that after a service provider has determined whether the email message and/or the URL is configured to download malicious executable code, the user can receive an indication to that effect from the server.
