Post subject: Something is adjusting system clock. Virus ?? Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus (more info?)
Hi,
Some virus or piece of malware seems to be adjusting the date & time
on my pc's system clock.
Yesterday, I noticed that the clock was showing the wrong date &
time... it was showing April 1 0500, ie 15 or so hours earlier
that the date/time here in New Zealand.
I immediately went & adjusted this... but when I hit the apply button,
the time immediately bounced back to April 1.
Today when I booted the pc, the clock was reading April 2.. I adjusted
it again to correct date / time...
but same
deal.. it bounced back.

Hi,
Thanks for your response Ernie.
I am running XP Pro.
Our time zone is GMT +12 hrs.. (Auckland, NZ) ....but this is not the
problem.
Something is overriding the clock... instantly after a manual
change... and I can't tell what is doing it.

Go to "Control Panel", "Date/Time" and make the time zone is correct.
If not, change it and click "Apply". Then set the time.
