Probably your System has not been updated to use the newer dates for
the switch to Daylight Savings time (now occurs in March instead of the
first Sunday in April). Despite your setting your clock, your system
is going on the network and resetting your clock to a time server
somewhere on the network.
A couple things you can do:
o Update your computer to recognize current Time Zone dates:
"August 2009 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows
operating systems"

o Stop the service that sets your computer to network server time
Start->Run-> w32tm /unregister
o Wait until next Sunday when your computer should switch to Daylight
time - at which time you will be in sync with the world again.
