A while ago i looked at my clock on windows and it said 00:00 so I checked the date and it said 01 January 2000 so i ran a virus check and a spyware check with free online scanners and McAfee but neither found anything and the same thing has happened today. I really don't know why this is happening and would appreciate any help.

Sounds like the battery on the board is dying.

But this only happens every so often and after setting it back it can work correct for about a month and sometimes even two and then just reset back to this date.

Perhaps it's the Y2K bug ?

still likely a battery dying...if your PC is plugged in, it will usually retain the time data if the battery is dead.

Run a test

Set the time and date. Turn off PC. Unplug it overnight

I had a similar thing happen with an old PC. It would intermittently lose it's BIOS settings, a change of battery seemed to cure it.

Thanks everybody i will leave it unplugged overnight and see what happens if the problems continue i will replace the battery.
