Untrusted Time


You've no doubt come across a page like the one above. I did when I recently plugged my desktop back in to get it running for my wife. Normally, I'm able to jump around the web in Firefox as soon as the desktop picks up on an internet connection. However, no matter where I went, this page popped up. I checked Windows Firewall and didn't see the websites being blocked. I checked AVG and saw that it still had the typical settings. So what was up?

After an amount of time that's too embarrassing to note here. I decided to stop being lazy and change the system clock to the current time. To my surprise, the officer in the yellow box left me alone immediately. Who knew he just wanted to be on time?
