Outage - July 6-7
There is an issue affecting connectivity in our Windstream markets that has been going on since approximately 3:30PM on July 6th. Windstream is aware of the issue and is working on it with hopes of getting service restored ASAP today. Additionally the phone service to our office is also offline so calls to our office aren't going through. We are working with the phone company to get these problems resolved as soon as possible and appologize for the inconvenience this has caused. |

Asleep at the wheel of your Windows PC?
Having just read an article about how Windows users of the Apple IPad are being targetted by hackers, it bears reminding everyone that there are many available options for securing your Windows computer these days. In the past, we have seen AVast!, AVG, among others offer free real-time virus protection and automated updates. A while back, Microsoft introduced the freely available Microsoft Security Essentials which also performs real-time protection, scheduled scanning and automated updates.
So let's go over the basic premise.
There are hackers out there and they are a smart and crafty bunch. There is little doubt that if you are clicking links within emails or employing any search engine to direct your travels on the net that eventually you will encounter a carefully constructed web site designed to trick you or your child into running a program on your PC.

Phishing Scams
Just a reminder that Perigee will never send out any emails that would ask for sensitive information such as username and password data. There have been a few emails that came to subscribers in the past few weeks trying to gather such information, which are called 'phishing' emails that should always be ignored and deleted. If there is any question as to the validity of an email that appeared to come from us, you can always contact us via phone or email. This site below describes what phishing is and some tips to protect yourself:

Typically most emails such as this get blocked, but it can take a few hours before such blocks are in place depending on how the messages are crafted. If you get a suspect email, you can forward it as an attachment to postmaster (at) perigee.net so we can create custom blocking rules for that message. |
