That one I don't worry about too much.

But mine jumped ahead again. It seems to do it independent of the internet clock. Mine was just now about 3 minutes fast, after I re-synched it with time-nw.nist.gov yesterday. And now I just did it again.

Mine seems to be set to re-synch daily, so something is making it jump ahead.

Is this some sort of virus or something? Indicative of malware, perhaps?
