okay ever since the change to Daylight savings time my clock on my desktop has been displaying a different time, usually wrong, every time I start up.

In fact I just the time again for the 4th time since Sunday and now it says "Saturday March 4 2006" when I run the mouse over the clock.

Any ideas what's going on? Why do I have a sinking feeling I have a virus?

Just some thoughts,
I had problems with the clock in SuSE the first time I installed it. As a newbie I couldn't keep it adjusted for anything! I learned that I had to make sure that I saved the settings when I changed the time, and that finally did the trick. I'm not saying that you are a newbie but this is my experience. Make sure you back out of, and save every screen, when you change the time or it won't take. I'm assuming that you are using the KDE desktop too. If you are already doing this and it still doesn't work - then I don't know...
You might want to look in the BIOs too.

check the time in bios.

okay this I don't get..

last night I went into the bios and set the clock right. Went into suse and reset the clock there. restarted they whole thing and everything was corect.

Now I turn it on today and the clock is slow by over 5 hours. I wonder if the CMOS battery is dying?

Slight update; Went into Bios again, it was off too.

I'd say yes.
