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.
