Solved Issues after catastrophic OC

Hi folks, I've been messing around in my BIOS. Installing some faster RAM and trying a slight overclock (2.4 t0 2.7Ghz on a Q6600) and seem to have caused myself several problems.
Firstly I tried to push it a bit further on the FSB- from 1200 to 1300-the system wouldn't boot and wouldn't let me into the BIOS.
I eventually got round this by removing the mobo battery. I was able to get back into the BIOS and revert to my original oc.
However when I booted I got a re register Windows this is not a genuine version notice.
I had to 'phone microsoft and get a new activation ID.
I'm now back in windows (Vista HP 64 bit) but seem to have a few left over issues.
My clock was set back to 2006 and that meant I couldn't activate Gmail etc.
I went back into the BIOS and reset the date but could not change the day. So it's 3.19PM on Monday the 22nd of September, 2008. I've tried everything I can think of but cannot find a way to make it Friday, which it is.
Also I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. This keeps reporting that my computer is at risk and I need to update. I've updated over a dozen times but it doesn't seem to change and is still telling me it needs to update.
These are ther first problems I have noticed. I hope I don't find more.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to get my day and date correct and how to convince Kaspersky it's up to date?
Many thanks, John:confused:

Forget that. Stupid oversight on my part and the problem is now sorted.
