Sorry, but my local hacker (and many other computer gurus since) told me
about this about 5 years ago. It only works on worm viruses that use your
e-mail directory. The ! messes with them and they won't go any farther.
Other viruses it has no effect on, but since the majority out there are
worms, it works most of the time. Has saved my ass numerous times...more
like my friends asses, cos they don't get the virus from me. It may be on
the hoax site, but they're wrong this time.
