Im stuck on the comparison part
From: ""
Received:""
Dim Text1 AsString = "Received:""" Dim Text2 As String = "From:""" If String.Compare(Text1, Text2, True) = 1 Then MsgBox("Genuine Email") End If If String.Compare(Text1, Text2, False) = 0 Then MsgBox("Spoofed Email") End If If TextBox2.Text = "" Then MessageBox.Show("You must enter something in the text box") End If

Are you sure your compare method is correct?
For example if both strings are identical is the value equal to 1, like you have put or is it equal to 0.
I think it is equal to 0.

Comparing Strings
The Compare method compares two strings and returns an integer value. The return value of Compare method can be less than zero, greater than zero or equals to zero.
Value Meaning
Less than zero When first string is less than second.
Zero When both strings are equal.
Greater than zero When first string is greater than zero.

I think you want to use the equals method here to check if they are equal, that is, the same string.

It's not working because you never check the contents of the textbox in your code.

You need to google 'searching for substrings within a string'. I know vb.net has a method for this.
