On reboot, my system keeps looking for back_time.exe. I have recently removed over 500 trojan/malware/adware files. I run Spybot, Adaware and Hijack. My system clock is now way off, despite resetting. Is this a necessary file or a trojan? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hi Echoe,

I only found the following regarding backtime.exe not back_time.exe:

#:32 [backtime.exe]
FilePath : C:\Program Files\Backup Plus\
BasePriority : Normal
FileSize : 184 KB
FileVersion : 6.00.0008
ProductVersion : 6.00.0008
Copyright : Copyright
CompanyName : AVANTRIX Inc.
FileDescription : Backup Plus Timed Backups Manager
InternalName : BackTime
OriginalFilename : BackTime.Exe
ProductName : Backup Plus Timed Backups Manager

Do you have this product installed? if not disable it and see if it affects any programs. Due to the fact that I cannot find anything about it I doubt it is malicious.

Thanks for this, John. I have had this program, (demo version) and have tried to uninstall in numerous times, but it doesn't like to go away. It helps to know that this is not a dangerous file or one necessary to my system clock.
Thanks again,
Echoe

With that much junk on the machine and things not working, its time to plan a "clean intall" of your system to get rid of all the little leftover problems.
