| Can any of you help me?
|
| My friend has a problem with her pc, in that, no matter how many times she
| sets the pc clock within a few seconds (or when she activates the internet),
| it resets back to 13th September. This then causes problems with some
| programs (anti virus / spyware detection) not running and unable to
| download updates.
|
| Is this a virus? If so which one and whats the best way to get rid of it?
|
| TIA
