RE: O/T: DUH!!!

Kept getting a warning that my internet traffic was out of date and couldn't be sent.



Screwed around for the better part of 4-5 hours which included removing and reloading AVAST and placing blame on it regardless of the facts at least twice.



Finally found problem.



Some how I had changed the date from May 30, 2014 to May 4, 2014.



DUH !!!



Oh well, all's well that ends well.



Back to reloading AVAST.

I was confused... Never saw that b4.

If you do a restore to an earlier date and are installing software, before the computer can change the date via the internet, you can run into problems. I had a similar issue a few months ago..

And that reminded me how you could greatly extend a software trial period, before operating systems used the internet to automatically set the time and date, by simply changing the date forward a few years before installing. After installation change the date back to current.
