Hello I am experiencing intermittent loss of word files on my USB



I presume it is virus related.



What symptoms do my computers have?



They are a succession of laptops they were loaded with XP but had probs so I installed windows 7… I bought the copy of 7 at a garage sale and installed it on four laptops.



Well the symptoms the computers have is that they will not retain the proper date and time.



There is no loss of data or access to files on the laptops but occasionally I will lose data on the USB drive.



Occasionally I will be using the usb in any of the four computers



and occasionally it says the usb needs scanning



then occasionally I put the usb in a machine and it comes up loss reading drive f:



and I end up going to a back up usb with data loss of recent work.



Well is there any suggestions about what could be the probs?



Is the data loss on usb related to the probs that computers have retaining correct time
