One word about spyware scanners. You can't rely on a single one. Unlike viruses, some spyware is put on a person's computer with their semi-informed consent. The people writing that crap are out there suing the people like Lavasoft (adaware) for detecting things. Some companies have backed off on some detection. I also use spybot search and destroy. The microsoft product is a good product and an active product vs the passive scanners like Adaware, but currently the MS product is set to expire at the end of the year and may just stop working. They may begin charging for it after that, which I consider almost immoral.

I'm not a Microsoft fan, I prefer Word Perfect to Word, Quicken to Money and ....
I used the Microsoft version because someone at work pick up spyware and adaware and spybot couldn't eliminate it. I do know that it's in the beta version and I agree that it'll be a pay for use item such as Viruscan.
stuart:
I use AdawareSE, SpyBot and Pestpatrol all three...

I'm not convinced that its a spy ware problem, but its a good place to start. As stated before try several different spyware catchers none of them catch everything. Forget about a rebate, get an AV scanner now or stay off line. There are several free ones such as AVG and Avast. Also check out some of the Spyware related forums such as http://pcpitstop.invisionzone.com, they have a sub forum for viruses and spyware. I took a quick look but didn't see anything about clocks being changed, but post there and see what kind of feed back you get.
