Abstract

Methods and systems for improving security when accessing a URL, such as a Web site. In one exemplary method, a user is warned if a previously unvisited Web site being accessed originated from an email message or other electronic source external to a Web browser being used to access the Web site. Other methods, as well as data processing systems and machine-readable media, are also described.
