calendar reset

Noticed a problem a few days ago when my calendar kept resetting to 01/01/04. Ran Spybot, CCleaner and Tweaknow and followed the steps but the problem persists. Whilst a calendar reset is simple the worry is that it is a manifestation of a more severe problem.
I logged on here and followed the steps in the malware sticky but I can't load pandaactive or housecall, IE just hangs and that is even more concerning. So I went straight to HJT and the log is here.

It actually sounds like a hardware problem, not a virus. I dont know how long you've had your computer for, but if it's a fairly long time then the CMOS battery is most likely dead, so every time you turn your computer off the BIOS resets itself with that date.

If you want to see if thats the case, you can go into the BIOS upon booting up by either pressing F2 or DEL to enter the setup (usually one of those). Then change the date, save and restart, then turn off your computer. Turn it back on and see if the date has changed back. If it's back to 1/1, then it's the battery, if not, then it could be a virus.
 
The PC has been updated in bits and pieces over the years, the only original part is the hard drive. The motherboard is about18 months old so I wouldn't expect problems, but I'll check it out.
When I booted up this evening the problem didn't occur.... restarts always keep the date as I set it so I tried a full shutdown and the date and time are still ok, might have been a hardware glitch as I've doen nothing new to remove any problems.
Thanks for the advice
