The clock changing time has to do with the malicious hackers Virtual
Private Network set-up on a hacked/owned computer and if you want to go
into detail you have my original email address to discuss this issue.
Idiot.
Nine times out of ten the problem with the computer clock changing
time is one of two things.
1. Something sucking up way too many clock cycles. The OS clock takes
it's update signal from the CMOS clock. If something is tying up the
OS it'll miss update calls and the OS clock will lose time. However,
when you reboot the time will be correct again.
2. If the clock is jumping an even hour or even number of hours ahead
or back the problem is most likely that the time zone is set
incorrectly in the OS. The box thinks it's in another time zone. When
the OS syncs it's clock (as they can do automatically and are set to
do so by default) to whatever time standard server it's set to check,
the box "corrects" it's self to the time zone it thinks it's in. I've
seen this a dozen times at least. When people call me up and ask why
their box is exactly an hour (or however many hours) off every day
even after they reset it, the first thing I tell 'em is check the time
zone. Cures it every time.
Besides, the only possible way that your system's time and date would
be screwed up would be if the victim had a trojan installed that
allowed an attacker from gaining access to the system to make that
kind of a change. As far as changing the time zone on a computer, that
has to be done by the user via the clock icon on the task bar.
Idiot.
The time zone settings are kept in the registry. I can write a script
to change the time zone using nothing more than the text editor. I
send it to you and run it, and presto the time zone setting on your
computer is whatever I told it to be. Shall I prove it?
