Do not click on any file that is a .scr attachment. This is an executable script much as is .exe. Although some such posts could be innocent, an .scr or.exe attachment can have code to do neary anything to a computer, so do not open such a file even if it claims to be from the Pope.

Nope. It's coming from shaw.ca all right.
I agree about their Shiraz: pretty boring Languedoc Syrah, but far from offensive. Haven't had the Chardonnay and don't have much motivation to try it, I'm afraid...

The modem is infected or the computer attached to it is?
