Recently my pc clock slowed down, like it's totally off. What can be the cause? If I set it to the correct time, the next time I boot up, it'll be wrong again. Please help. Thanks.

The coin battery on your motherboard may be dying/dead. Replace it and your computer should keep time again.

Most likely cause of this problem is the lithium battery on your motherboard that helps the date/time information is bad.

viruses and trojans - your machine has been hacked and made into a spam zombie
reformat your hard drive and install Linux on it - that should solve your problems, or go and buy a MAC
