So the clock on my pc has been wrong for quite some time now. I have scanned my pc with microsoft security essentials and nothing popped. I have changed the time to be right but after a little bit of time it is all wrong again. Please help i don't know what to do.

Have you tried changing it in your BIOS?

Change the MoBo battery (usually they are CR 2032s) .  If you are not sure how to do this Google it or perform a YouTube search.

 

This battery keeps the BIOS well CMOSreally) powered when the PC isn't getting mains electricity and keeps all your date/time/region/boot order etc settings

 

If this battery is at all "dodgy" the CMOS will not count "ticks" properly so it will appear the system clock runs slow eventually if the batery loses all power all the settings will be lost

Also if you have any motherboard app center etc etc check its' settings for any auto-time adjustment.

Specifics vary depending on make of motherboard .

But in general:-

 

This is pretty easy and is something even (< I do hope they never see that) my sons could tackle and they are not very tech savvy at all

 

If step-by-step in text is more your speed :-

Just a personal addition; I would take some sort of digital photo (smart phone?) as well as noting what way up the battery  went on paper/mentally, so I could put the replacement the same way up.
