System time changing arbitrarily, mostly to future dates

Hi there. It all appears to be good, so we will finish up to make sure your computer is protected from malware in the future.

Clean up System Restore

Now, to get you off to a clean start, we will be creating a new Restore Point, then clearing the old ones to make sure you do not get reinfected, in case you need to "restore back."

• Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore.
• On the dialogue box that appears select Create a Restore Point
• Click NEXT
• Enter a name e.g. Clean
• Click CREATE

You now have a clean restore point, to get rid of the bad ones:

• Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
• In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
• Click OK
• The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
• Select the More Options Tab.
• At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
• Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done

Run OTC to remove our tools

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created, please do the following:
Please download OTC.exe by OldTimer:

• Save it to your Desktop.
• Double click OTC.exe.
• Click the CleanUp! button.
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Note:If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.

Purge old temporary files

NOTE: If you already have this installed, you don't have to reinstall it.

Please download CCleaner Slim and save it to your Desktop - Alternate download link

When the file has been saved, go to your Desktop and double-click on ccsetupxxx_slim.exe
Follow the prompts to install the program.

• Double-click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program.
• A prompt will ask you if you want CCleaner to do a check to see what cookies it needs to keep. Allow that operation.
• On the Cleaner tab, click on Run Cleaner on the bottom-right to run the program.
• Important: Make sure that ALL browser windows are closed before selecting Run Cleaner, or it will ask if you want the program to close them for you (when you do this, all unsaved data may be lost in the browser).

Caution: Only use the Registry feature if you are very familiar with the registry.
Always back up your registry before making any changes. Exit CCleaner after it has completed it's process.

Security Check

Please download Security Check by screen317 from SpywareInfoforum.org or Changelog.fr.

• Save it to your Desktop.
• Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
• A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

Please remove this program: Spybot - Search & Destroy (does not function as well these days).

Uninstall Programs:

• Click on Start and select Control Panel
• Open Add/Remove Programs
• Uninstall the following if found:
  • [*]Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
    [*]Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
• Restart your computer if asked to do so during either/both uninstallations
• Let me know if problem remains.

Please let me know how it goes.

Please do the following:

• Download Aaron Stebner's .NET Framework Cleanup tool from here and save it to your desktop
• Extract the zip file and run the tool

• Keep visiting Windows Update, installing the updates and rebooting until no more updates are offered

Please let me know how it goes.

Download it from my link below and try it.

Excellent!

Any more issues?

We need to know any other issues that are plaguing your computer. Kindly give a summary so we know how to continue from here.

Many of the things to note for us would be:

• Slow computer
• Error messages
• Fake antivirus alerts or the icon in the system tray
• svchost.exe running at 100%
• System crashes or blue screen of death

Let me know what happens with that.

Do you know what a CMOS battery is? It needs to be changed.

Pull the CMOS battery out of the computer, check the type, buy a new one, and install it. The clock should stay set after that.
