Change Internet Time Sync Interval v2.0 (5/24/2008)

Change Internet Time Sync Interval v2.0 (5/24/2008)

Copyright 2002-2008 - Doug Knox

By default, Windows XP and Vista will try to synchronize your computer's time with an Internet Time Server on a weekly basis. This utility will allow you to change the interval (frequency) between Internet Time Updates. You can choose from weekly, daily, hourly or "custom" settings. Download the ZIP file and extract the contents to your hard drive. The EXE file you extracted is the program. There is no install/uninstall.

I tried it and set my clock once a day. (SS)

This site also has lots of other good information.

You MUST have Administrator level privileges to use this utility.

.Net Framework v2.00 is required to run this utility.

Operating System(s): Windows XP. Requires the VB 6 runtime library (included with Windows XP), Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003.

Version 2.0 - Completely re-written to work with Windows Vista, as well as Windows XP. Intervals changed to Hourly, Daily and Weekly. No custom intervals are available.

Version 1.2 - was a re-write of the Registry code that works much better.

Version 1.1 - fixes a bug when more than 9 hours were selected for the update interval.

Download Internet Time Update.zip here.

Combo Fix A good Malware Remover

Introduction

ComboFix is a program, created by sUBs, that scans your computer for known malware, and when found, attempts to clean these infections automatically. In addition to being able to remove a large amount of the most common and current malware, ComboFix also displays a log when it is finished that contains a great deal of information that an experienced helper can use to diagnose, retrieve samples of, and remove infections that are not automatically removed.

Due to the power of this tool it is strongly advised that you do not attempt to act upon any of the information displayed by ComboFix without supervision from someone who has been properly trained. If you do so, it may lead to problems with the normal functionality of your computer.

Please note that this guide is the only authorized guide for the use of ComboFix and cannot be copied without permissions from BleepingComputer.com and sUBs. It is also understood that the use of ComboFix is done at your own risk.
