PC lost time when turned off

Who keeps fooling with my PC's CLOCK???

Useful comment:
The non functioning world time clock is well known and documented, i have access to ten pc's and they all give the same message that you are getting. but the task bar holds true set time on them all. Various clock sync programs are available for free.

If the bios will not 'hold' the set data (time/data etc') then obviously the battery has lost it's power and needs a replacement as suggested.

If, with a new battery the bios still doesn't hold then the motherboard is suspect. Some times the bios chip is defective and in some rare cases may be re-flashed or hot-swapped depending on make/model/version (check manufactures site for bios upgrade info) as mentioned.

To quickly check for any rootkits install the free offer from AVG

"Spybot search and destroy" will also seek-out and remove similar instances.
