I would guess that it is a virus or whatever is on the laptop that is giving that message.

..I had a malware thing on my laptop just a few weeks ago and I reset the date back on the control panel to when it had been ok..I'm not sure if that's something you're meant to do but it worked for me and I haven't had any problems since...

If you know the date when the problems first started then a system restore rolling the PC back to before is a good thing. Not sure what resetting the clock does. Did you run system restore on the pc? Its saved my ass on a few occasions.

Off to watch football now, wont be looking here for a bit.
