Adjust your computer's clock based on the Network Time Protocol.
This is a freeware application for adjusting the PC clock. There are 12 free NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers used by JSS Clock Sync. It connects to the first available NTP server, and then adjusts the PC clock. JSS Clock Sync resides in the system tray.
Small program that actually synced my clock. Atomic Clock Sync simply used Windows clock sync software to sync up. The problem was that was not working. Thats why I downloaded Atomic Clock Sync! Well this software actually worked!
Cons
Worked properly so no cons from me.
Summary
When I turned on my new computer and saw the clock way off I wanted to properly sync it to show the correct time. After several attempts in windows I gave up and downloaded atomic clock sync which did not work. This tiny little program runs nice and easy and synced me right up. Just what I wanted it to do! Now my bogus little clock is set correctly!
does what it says on the box

Summary
Basic NTP client

Pros
Can sync every hour. Uses multiple NTP servers until it finds one that works. Writes a log file.
Cons
Uses 4MB of system memory. No icon on taskbar. Syncs to 1 second resolution.
Summary
Tries to ping before setting time. Fails to contact most known good servers!
Pros
Cons
Summary
The first thing this alleged NTP client does when synchronizing is try to PING the ntp server. Hello!! ICMP PING is almost useless nowadays as a test of connectivity because so many ISPs block all ICMP traffic to prevent abuse from well-known DoS attacks. A shame, but there you go. An NTP client has no business attempting to use PING to determine if an NTP server is responding. If the PING fails, the program does not even try to set the time!
Too much inconvenience!
Pros
Cons
Summary
On one computer, unzipping the app produced a tray icon. On the oher coimnputer, the try icon was non-functional and cannot be deleted.
One size, small, slow to update, hard to read if old or visually imparied.
Not as good as the competition.
Bad UI design, minimal functionality
Pros
Cons
Summary
When the program started to give me a pop-up for each of the servers I wanted to delete, it was game over already, forget the minmal design, no uninstaller, blocking during syncs..
Very SLOWWWW...
Pros
Cons
Summary
I loaded and ran the program. It ran very slowly, taking 45 to 60 seconds to update the time. I am running XP with a cable modem - don't know if this is an XP problem, but my connection speed is fine.
Does what it is suppose to do!
Pros

Using XP Pro and this works great!!

Seems to run well if left alone

Summary
I used Atomic Clock before but got annoyed very badly by the infinite message boxes coming up when there's no internet conn available.
So I tried this one.
Stays in the tray, does time checks on its own, you can add or remove time servers, no annoying boxes. Cool for a DSL-server.
