Ebola Time Bomb
Not all virus writers share the same goal. A built in gestation
period to insure widespread contamination, coupled with a "drop
dead" date, to execute it's final ownership of the infected
computer by wiping the hard drive on it's way out.

A simple case of the Windows "sniffles" for a week or so to
spread it's infection to everyone in your address book. Then a
sudden hemorrhaging of your data and programs in a
catastrophic bleed out of your PC resulting in an empty shell.

Would you re-load Windows on that box if it happened to you
and all your friends?
