one of our workstations keeps making the year 1970. I have scanned it for
spyware and virsus.

What else could be doing it?

What type of machine is this (make/model)?
Is its BIOS updated to the latest version?

The CMOS battery has likely died. Replace it. It's one of those little
coin types on the mobo.
