  11. In the office where I work, we recently purchased a 286 clone..  Over
  12. the past few weeks, the computer's internal clock has been losing
  13. days.  The first time, it stuck on Thanksgiving.  A week later, it
  14. hung on December 7th (Pearl Harbor Day).  A few weeks later, it stuck
  15. on Christmas Eve.
  16.  
  17. Has anyone heard of a virus that would produce these symptoms?  If
  18. not, does anyone have any other ideas about how to fix the problem?
