The weirdest thing continues to happen- every time I restart my computer the date and time changes to Feb 2004- does this mean I have a virus?

One possibility is that your motherboard's battery is dead and it cannot maintain the time when its not powered on.

Has this been happening for more than 29 days? you don't mention the days changing or not.

Don't remember the exact date when I noticed the date and time change but I'm going to say maybe 2 weeks now.

It keeps going to Feb 2004- don't remember the DATE but I can check when I get home as I'm at work and I'm referring to my home computer.

The time on the computer is now 2:31 am Feb 23, 2004 and I just changed it YESTERDAY-7:33 pm on July 16th

See if it goes to the 24th tomorrow, Your hitting Apply after setting clock? Its strange.

Open your PC case and look afer a small clock-like battery, that's the problem the battery is dead. You should ask for a new one and carefuly change it, finally change the time to the correct and reboot, it should work
