| 372842 | 2005-07-17 02:07:00 | Relative in UK has had the date changed on his computer to 2080 presumably by a Trojan. Anybody had this problem?. Have Googled and checked virus encyclopedias etc with no joy, the date change resulted in all security updates not operating. | FrankS (257) | ||

The date if wrong in the BIOS will also change the date in Windows, and as u stated it will affect programs. If the BIOS date is the right time/date change the date in Windows, after Windows has loaded. |

If you change the date and time in Windows, it tells the RTC to change, too. Windows doesn't have a date and time when it is stopped. Windows doesn't have a Windows to have a date and time when it is stopped. It's just a random collection of bits on the disk. It has no existence of itself, until it is fed to a CPU to be executed. |
