    I've owned my Zepto 2225W for just over a month and I'm really happy with it.

    However over the course of this month the time and date on my laptop have been reset to "00:00 2004" (or something similar) about 3 times after restarts.

    It's not a major problem, I simply change it back, but I was worried it might be a virus. I have AVG free running showing no virus' so now I'm thinking it might be something wrong with the laptop.

    Anyone any ideas?

    usually, something like that points to the CMOS battery on the motherboard. is the computer new?

    Yeah it's only 1 month old.

    The motherboard stuff means nothing to me unfortunately.
