Unexplained date change

by ojmj . Updated 24 years, 11 months ago

Running Win 98SE, PIII 400 MHz clone. 256M RAM, 20M H/D. New January 15, 2000.

Command Anti-Virus has been running for 3 years, with latest DefFiles entered every time I am notified — usually semi-weekly.

For the last 6 months or so, I havebeen having periodic date changes on the machine. It will change from 2001 to 2002 for no apparent reason. The first indication I have is when I’m surfing between websites and an error message comes up informing me that my ‘certificate’ is out of date.

Don’t believe it is a virus. Don’t think it is a bad CMOS battery (1 1/2 years old). Have reinstalled Windows and have latest patches.

Any experience with this?

O.J.
