I've just eceived a email that my computer is infected with a worm,Which
would spread to other computers heres is what they said this(And Plz Check
Your System)



We have received several complaints that your computer is infected with a
virus, and is actively transmitting virus code attached to email sent
through the Shaw at Home connection. This activity is in violation of our
Acceptable Use Policy, and is a very real threat to your system security.

To remove the virus from your system, go to:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.hybris.gen.html

This location contains information on the virus, and the process to remove
it. It would be a good idea to forward this information to everyone in your
email address book, as each of those addresses would have received a copy of
the virus each time you booted your computer.

For your convenience, we have attached a copy of the Acceptable Use Policy
and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.

*** Please provide email confirmation that you have read and understand the
Acceptable Use Policy and agree to comply. ***

messages. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial

The Services may not be used to collect responses from unsolicited email
sent from accounts on other Internet hosts or email services which violates
this Policy or the acceptable use policy of any other Internet service
provider. Moreover, unsolicited email may not direct the recipient to any
web site or other resource which uses the Services.

Mail Bombing is prohibited; you may not send numerous copies of the same or
substantially similar messages, nor may you send very large messages or

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services customers should consult this document
regularly to ensure that their usage conforms to the most recent version. In
the event of conflict between any customer agreement and this Policy, the
terms of this Policy will govern. Please refer to the customer agreement
specific to the service which you are using. Complaints of violations of
this Policy by Shaw High-Speed Internet Service users can be directed to:
internet.abuse at shaw.ca

Shaw at Home is affiliated with the at Home Network, whose Acceptable Use Policy
can be found at http://www.home.net/aup


1. Introduction

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services provides a variety of Internet Services to
residences and businesses (the Services). The Shaw at Home Service allows
residential customers to connect to the Shaw at Home high-speed backbone
network, and the Internet. SoHo, Professional, and Business services allow
businesses to connect to the Shaw at Home high-speed backbone network, and the
Internet for the purposes of transacting business.

All of the Services provided by Shaw (including Shaw Wave Service) are
subject to this Acceptable Use Policy.


The Services use resources that are shared with many customers. Moreover,
the Services provide access to the Internet which is used by millions of
others. Each user benefits by being able to share resources and communicate
almost effortlessly with other members of the user community. However, as
with any community, the benefits and privileges available from the Service,
and the Internet in general, must be balanced with duties and
responsibilities designed to guarantee uniform access to all customers of
the Service.

Use of the Services is subject to the following rules and guidelines. Each
customer of the Shaw High-Speed Internet Service is responsible for ensuring
that the use of all Services provided to such customer comply with this
Acceptable Use Policy (the Policy). ANY USER WHO DOES NOT AGREE TO THESE
TERMS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CANCEL THE SERVICE AND NOTIFY SHAW'S CUSTOMER
SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE ACCOUNT IS TO BE TERMINATED.

2. Illegal Activity

Use of the Services for any activity that violates Local, Provincial,
Federal or International law, order or regulation, is a violation of this
Policy.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

Posting or disseminating unlawful material (child pornography or obscene
material)
Disseminating material which violates copyright or intellectual property
rights. The customer assumes all risk regarding whether material is in the
public domain
Pyramid or other illegal soliciting schemes
Fraudulent activities; including but not limited to: impersonating any
person or entity, or forging anyone's digital or manual signature

3. Security

The customer is responsible for any misuse of the Services that originate
from their account, even activities committed by any friend, family,
co-worker, employee, guest or anyone with access to the account. Customers
must ensure that others not gain unauthorized access to the Services.

The Services may not be used to breach the security of another user, or to
attempt access to anyone's computer, software or data, without the knowledge
and consent of that person.The Services may not be used in any attempt to
circumvent the user authentication or security of any host, network, or
account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended
for you, logging into or making use of a server or account you are not
expressly authorized to access, probing the security of other networks. Use
or distribution of tools designed for compromising security, such as
password guessing programs, cracking tools, packet sniffers or network
probing tools, is prohibited.

You may not disrupt the Services. The Services also may not be used to
interfere with computer networking or telecommunications services to any
user, host or network, including, without limitation, denial of service
attacks, flooding of a network, overloading a service, improper seizing and
abuse of operator privileges and attempts to crash a host. The transmission
or dissemination of any information or software which contains a virus or
other harmful feature, is also prohibited.

The customer is responsible for the security of any device connected to the
Services by the customer, including data stored on that device. In
particular, Shaw recommends against enabling file or printer sharing of any
kind. Shaw recommends that any files or services you make available for
remote access be password protected.

4. Inappropriate Content

Some Internet content available through the Services may be offensive to
individuals, or may not be in compliance with local laws or regulations;
(i.e. pornographic content or hate literature) particularly for children.
Shaw High-Speed Internet Services assumes NO responsibility for Internet
content available through the Services. The customer assumes all risk when
accessing content through the Services, and Shaw High-Speed Internet
Services shall not be liable for any and all claims, losses, actions,
damages, suits or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to,
access of such content. Parents are responsible for restricting access to
sexually explicit material on the Internet, by purchasing the appropriate
filtering software, or by monitoring Internet use. Content questions or
complaints should be addressed to the content provider.

The customer is responsible for information published to the Web or other
Internet services, through their account. Shaw High-Speed Internet Services
reserves the right to refuse to post or to remove any information or
materials, in whole or in part, that it, at its sole discretion, deems to be
offensive, indecent, or otherwise inappropriate regardless of whether such
material or its dissemination is unlawful.

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services has no obligation to monitor transmissions
made on the Services. However, Shaw High-Speed Internet Services has the
right to monitor such transmissions and to disclose the same in accordance
with your Service agreement. By using the Services to publish, transmit or
distribute content, a user is warranting that the content complies with this
Policy and authorizes Shaw High-Speed Internet Services to reproduce,

5. Electronic Mail

The Services may not be used to send unsolicited bulk or commercial
messages. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial
advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for
signatures and political or religious messages. Such messages may be sent
only to those who have explicitly requested them.

The Services may not be used to collect responses from unsolicited email
sent from accounts on other Internet hosts or email services which violates
this Policy or the acceptable use policy of any other Internet service
provider. Moreover, unsolicited email may not direct the recipient to any
web site or other resource which uses the Services.

Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers is prohibited.
However, you may insert additional characters into your from: and reply-to:
addresses in order to prevent your true address from being automatically
added to the mailing lists used by bulk emailers. In this case, your true
address must remain obvious to any human viewer. For example, you may
substitute nospam.john.smith for john.smith.

You may not reference Shaw at Home or Shaw High-Speed Internet Services (e.g.
including Organization: Shaw at Home in the header, or by listing an IP address
that belongs to Shaw at Home) in any unsolicited email, even if that email is
not sent through Shaw High-Speed Internet Services.

Mail Bombing is prohibited; you may not send numerous copies of the same or
substantially similar messages, nor may you send very large messages or
files to a recipient with the intent to disrupt a server or account. The
propagation of chain letters is prohibited, whether or not the recipient
wishes to receive such mailings.

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services is not responsible for the forwarding of
email sent to any account which has been suspended or terminated. Such email
will either be returned to sender, ignored, deleted, or stored temporarily,
at Shaw High-Speed Internet Service's sole discretion.

6. Newsgroups

Messages posted to newsgroups must comply with the written charters or FAQ's
for those newsgroups. Advertisements, solicitations, or other commercial
messages should be posted only in those newsgroups whose charters or FAQ's
explicitly permit them. The customer is responsible for determining the
policies of a given newsgroup before posting to it.

Posting or cross-posting the same or substantially similar messages to more
than 9 newsgroups is prohibited. Our news software will automatically cancel
any messages posted to nine or more newsgroups.

Binary files may not be posted to newsgroups not specifically named for that
purpose.

Forging, altering or removing header information is prohibited. This
includes attempting to circumvent the approval process for posting to a
moderated newsgroup.

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services reserves the right to discontinue access
to any Usenet newsgroup at any time and for any reason.

You may not flood or disrupt Usenet newsgroups. Disruption is defined as
posting a large number of messages to a newsgroup which contain no
substantive content, to the extent that normal discussion in the group is
significantly hindered. Examples of disruptive activities include, but are
not limited to: posting multiple messages with no text in the body, posting
many follow-ups to messages with no new text.

Messages may not be cancelled, except by the author or by official newsgroup
moderators performing their duties.

The Usenet news service included with a Shaw High-Speed Internet Services
account is provided for interactive use by the customer, using a
commonly-available NNTP client such as Netscape Communicator.
Non-interactive clients that download Usenet articles in bulk are
prohibited.

7. Internet Relay Chat

The Services may be used to participate in Chat discussions hosted by Shaw
High-Speed Internet Services servers, third party servers, or may not
involve servers at all. In all cases, Shaw High-Speed Internet Services does
not monitor the contents of the discussion and is not liable for the content
of any communications made via Internet Chat.

The Services may not be used for Chat flooding. Flooding is defined as
deliberately repeating actions in quick succession in order to fill the
screens of other Internet users with text.

Any computer or other device connected through the Services may not maintain
more than 2 simultaneous chat connections. This includes the use of
automated programs, such as bots or clones. Automated programs may not be
used when the account holder is not physically present at the device.

The Services may not be used to send messages which disrupt another Internet
user's equipment, including software, hardware and user display.

The Services may not be used to access any chat server in violation of the
acceptable use policy of that server. The Services may not be used to
manipulate any chat server in order to harass or disconnect other Internet
users, or to gain privileges which have not been authorized.

A customer may not use the Services to connect to chat servers or channels
from which they have been previously banned.

The Services may not be used to continue to send chat messages to an
Internet user who has indicated their desire to not receive messages.

Forging, altering, or obscuring your identity while participating in chat
sessions is forbidden. You may, however, use a nickname as long as all chat
participants are able to discover your real name via normal Internet
conventions, such as the whois command.

8. Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitation

You must comply with the current bandwidth, data storage and other
limitations on the Services.

Users must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit
or degrade any other customer's use of the Services, nor represent (in the
sole judgement of Shaw High-Speed Internet Services) an unusually large
burden on the network itself. The guidelines for Bandwidth Usage/month for
each business service package are the following: SOHO - 6 GigaByte
download/2 GigaByte upload; Professional - 8 GigaByte download/3 GigaByte
upload; Business - 14 GigaByte download/4 GigaByte upload. The guidelines
for acceptable web site traffic include 300 MegaByte/month for Professional
and 500 MegaByte/month for Business hosting packages. Residential services
do not have specific guidelines of this nature as the service is not
intended for business applications such as, but not limited to, serving
streaming video or audio, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp servers, and multi-user
interactive forums. In addition, users must ensure that their activity does
not improperly restrict, disrupt, inhibit, degrade or impede Shaw High-Speed
Internet Service's ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services,
backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services.

Customers may not resell, share, or otherwise distribute the Services or any
portion thereof to any third party without the written consent of Shaw
High-Speed Internet Services. For example, you cannot provide Internet
access to others through a dial up connection, host shell accounts over the
Internet, provide email or news service, or send a news feed unless express
permission is granted by the customer agreement.

The Shaw at Home Service is designed for personal Internet use. You may not use
Shaw at Home Service for commercial purposes. You may not run a server in
connection with the Shaw at Home Service nor may you provide network services
to others via the Shaw at Home Service. Examples of prohibited servers and
services include, but are not limited to, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp
servers, and multi-user interactive forums. Some Business services may be
exempt from these limitations.



9. Violation of Acceptable Use Policy

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services does not routinely monitor the activity of
accounts for violation of this Policy. However, in our efforts to promote
good citizenship within the Internet community, we will respond
appropriately if we become aware of inappropriate use of the Services.
Although Shaw High-Speed Internet Services has no obligation to monitor the
Services and/or the network, Shaw High-Speed Internet Services reserves the
right to monitor bandwidth, usage and content from time to time, to identify
violations of this Policy; and/or to protect the network and Shaw High-Speed
Internet Services users.

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services prefers to advise customers of
inappropriate behavior and any necessary corrective action. However, if the
Services are used in a way which Shaw High-Speed Internet Services, in its
sole discretion, believes violate this Policy, Shaw High-Speed Internet
Services may take any responsive actions they deem appropriate. Such actions
include, but are not limited to, temporary or permanent removal of content,
cancellation of newsgroup posts, filtering of Internet transmissions, and
the immediate suspension or termination of all or any portion of the
Services. Shaw High-Speed Internet Services will not have any liability for
any such responsive actions. The above described actions are not Shaw
High-Speed Internet Services's exclusive remedies and Shaw High-Speed
Internet Services may take any other legal or technical action it deems
appropriate.

Shaw High-Speed Internet Services reserves the right to investigate
suspected violations of this Policy, including the gathering of information
from the user or users involved and the complaining party, if any, and
examination of material on Shaw High-Speed Internet Services servers and
network. During an investigation, Shaw High-Speed Internet Services may
suspend the account or accounts involved and/or remove material which
potentially violates this Policy.

You hereby authorize Shaw High-Speed Internet Services to cooperate with (i)
law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal
violations, and/or (ii) system administrators at other Internet service
providers or other network or computing facilities in order to enforce this
Policy. Such cooperation may include Shaw High-Speed Internet Services
providing the username, IP address, or other identifying information about a
subscriber.

Upon termination of an account, Shaw High-Speed Internet Services is
authorized to delete any files, programs, data and email messages associated
with such account.

The failure of Shaw High-Speed Internet Services to enforce this Policy, for
whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at
any time.

You agree that, if any portion of this Policy is held invalid or
unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law
as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force
and effect.

I don't know. Personally the only attatchments I ever accept are JPG, MPG,
MP3, WAV, TXT, etc. and in the rare case an EXE thats been bounced through
my dad's work email where everything is scanned on its way thru the WAN
servers. I also accept these types of files in emergencies (deleting
command.com by mistake hehehehehe) from people that I trust and have been in
contact with for over a year. I've only ever had 2 virii. One was supposedly
in the EXE to a commercial DOS app and I severely doubt it ever existed
because it was the only infected program and I was not connected to the
internet (plus the fact that only the Packard Bell restore disk virus scan
found it). Then there was a practical joke played on me last year with BO2k.
Nothing more malicious happened there than a coupla teenagers playing MaStUr
hAx0R for an hour or two before it got boring LOL. I don't understand how
everyone seems to get a virus every week. I mean, I've TRIED to infect my
computer with viruses and couldnt get a single one. So why do news entities
make such a big deal of it to the point where people are paranoid out of
there minds and people get all panicky when their AMD K6-2 CPU overheats in
mid summer and gives them a bunch of bluescreens of death (not fun but not a
virus).

One more thing. GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!
