I see recommendations to advance system dates past a Friday the 13th. I
suggest that this is dangerous as this is exactly what a lurking Saturday the
14th (Durban virus) is waiting for. Until such time as there is a Sunday the
15th virus, advance clocks by 2 days and not one. Better still is to clean
your system on Thursday the 12th. (That is until there is a Thursday the 12th
virus !)
