That's what I'm hoping someone would be able to answer here. But these newsgroups seem stacked with people who are quick to admonish others but not add much constructive information.

When I ran the API call that queries the time information the system said that I was at GMT -7 hours, which is correct. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my computer. It is set correctly. The only thing I can think of is that News Xpress, my antiquated news reader (originally written for Windows 3.1) messes with the time somehow. But, to be honest, I don't wish to devote the time to figuring this out. I'm knee-deep in work this weekend and already have to cancel my visit to a couple social events I'd rather visit this afternoon.

Avast is an anti-malware program, not simply an anti-virus program, according to their website. Here's what it says: Antivirus and anti-spyware Ensures all mails sent and received are clean Keeps you protected from "chat" infections Stops attacks from hijacked websites Compatible with Windows XP, Vista and 7 For non-commercial use only |
