Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

ive just got a free trial of kaspersky on my pc and got a warning saying i
had a trojan, i actually had 19 (!) i think ive got rid of them all but
since then my clocks been slowing right down, every time i start up its still
at the time i logged off and when i reset it it seems to be losing time. its
only happened since i got these viruses, my pc went nuts could it be
something to do with the trojans? thanks for any advice.

thanks, it might be that, the pc is about 3 years old but it seems strange,
it only went funny since i got these trojans,im sure its something theyve
done. i have got adaware and spybot and ive ran them, adaware picked up
stuff and got rid of it. im not very god with computers and wouldnt have a
clue how to put a new battery in, if its this will i have to get it fixed? it
would probably cost me very little to buy they battery but a fortune to get
someone to put the new battery in
