What do I do about my computer clock?

Ok so a program i have kept saying something like "certificate expired" and wouldn't open anymore. Someone suggested that I just reverse my computer clock a few years and bingo - it worked.

The problem now is that every time I try to open a webpage on Firefox or Internet Explorer, a message comes up saying that the page's certificate isn't valid. You see my computer thinks that it is 1994, and and given page certificate wasn't considered valid till like 2009.
So I'm stuck. How do i fix this without compromising my program (I can't change anything within it) and without having every one of my moves online challenged my my browsers?

Your cmos battery is most likely shot and needs to be replaced and then its just a matter of setting the right date and time in the bios or windows.
