When it turned on, everything went smoothly, but an error came up saying that I had reset my time to a date prior to 2008, and some applications could act "erratically." My clock had been reset to December 21st, 2000, and remember, I had been at school all day, no one was in my house who could have reset it, so idk how that happened. Then, a bunch of these weird windows opened asking for my permission to allow these applications internet access or something along those lines. They weren't normal apps, like Firefox or something either. They went something like kDr9274 or something, weird names, and when I searched for them in the Spotlight, it couldn't find them. I clicked allow, and they went away. Also, my internet connection was disabled, and I had to rejoin my wi-fi network. When I turned on the computer, it asked if I would like to set some other network as my home network, when I had clearly set my home network almost a year ago. The network it wanted to add was one that isn't listed under the connectable wifi networks that my computer lists, either. I have no idea what happened, and so far nothing else has gone wrong or acted funny. I did change my date and time back to the correct settings as well. What happened? Should I be worried about my computer security? Thanks for providing some insight on this weird situation, thanks!Answer Question
