No. Not virus related. Most likely Daylight Savings Time (DST) related.

I dont know much about this things, but I have a similar problem with a
laptop. Some people say it may be caused by a low CMOS battery. When I took
my computer for service they just reseted the CMOS (that's what the service
sheet says) and the problem was solved. Maybe if you replace this battery the
problem may be solved.

Good luck!

Is there a virus that messes with date and time? My computer has the correct
day, month, and time, but the year keeps going back to 2004. Also, My
homepage changes everytime I shut my computer down.

Change your PC battery!

Then we'll see why you homepage doesn't stick.
