According to Postini's monthly report on current Spam and Virus trends, spam volumes dipped in July 2010 with a 13% drop compared to June 2010, but spam volumes continue to remain very high, and we predict that spam will increase in volume through the remainder of the year.

Virus traffic, meanwhile, spiked 200% in July over June 2010, contributing to an increase of 260% in Q2’10 viruses over Q2’09.

In order to continue providing reliable, up-to-date service to our customers, WebHostNY will upgrade our server, beginning after 3pm on Wednesday, May 25, 2010. Every effort will be made to minimize downtime, but please bear with us if you experience any temporary service interruption during this process.

WebHostNY will be making a major upgrade to our web servers in the next 30 days. Please check back for details to come.

As always, security is a prime concern at WebHostNY. We are proud of our record of many years of uncompromised security and in order to maintain it, this upgrade will include security enhancements and updated web standards compliance. As a precaution, we recommend that all web hosting customers using PHP or any code libraries make sure that their sites, scripts, and libraries are up-to-date and compliant with current web security standards as some non-standard scripts or workarounds may be disabled by the upgrade.

If you have any questions or concerns about what to do, please contact us.
