Help!!!
I am experiencing this issue after booting up the following day, incorrect
display of date and time. The time and day changes, each day I reset the time
and re-synchronize with the Microsoft time server.
Could this be a virus, I have he XP Firewall active, my Firewall active on
the wireless access and Norton Antivirus is up to date. Full system scan (2)
twice has come up with nothing. I also installed spybot, and i cleaned all
items it found.
Still this issue with the date and time keeps changing after boot up.
All help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

It could be a dead CMOS battery. I would replace it. Located on the
Motherboard and looks like a wrist-watch battery.
