I have heard that a virus/malware form of some sort is getting past many AV apps & making the infected computer display the date as January the first 2016. Does anyone know much about this? From what I can gather SUPERAntiSpyware can detect & remove this malware. Has anyone any experience of this malware?

I have more info ~

It appears that there is virus infecting many computers at the moment which makes the infected computer re-set its clock to 12th April 2016 at 1am.
