A lot of people change their time to

1) Cheat on games
2) Other things...

So I tried it for a test! OH NO! :)p A little exaggeration is not too bad right?)

These were the horrific results:

1) My Adguard software copy said it had expired. I changed the date to November 27th 2015 so Adguard was confused.

2) iTunes showed the "Welcome!" screen when I set it back to September 5th 2014. This is when I bought this laptop

3) When I went to google.com it showed that the certificate was expired 124 days ago when I set it to November 27th. Apparently Chrome relies on local time ?!

4) Effectively the system was killed because all my applications showed "Welcome" blah blah and my games showed "Welcome" blah blah screen. After several tense minutes of twitching fingers I set the date back and everything was fine.

Morale: Never set time back or forward.

P.S.:
1) Do not download any cheat engines! On my old desktop I used to download keygens and other creepy stuff so I could test how many were malware. Eventually my whole computer broke down and only Avast Boot-Scan revived it (and it took 72 hours...).

2) I was not doing it to cheat! Just for curiosity.

3) Time Travel will be extremely confusing based on these results
