My job files date stamp has changed - very peculiar!

Anonymous

I have noticed that when going to my job folder my recently saved
jobs have dates from like 10 +/- days ago. It's now March so a Job I saved
yesterday should have 3/2/2014. I saved the file under another name and now it is showing correctly, But the same job under the previous name still
shows 2/23/2014.
I Don't know what to make of this, kind of scarry.
I did do a complete shut down and reboot just before this started showing up
and Windows did its update thing with a list of updates so long it makes me wonder if they really know what they are doing.
In the past, with my older computers I used to just turn the update option
off as I had troubles with AC not playing well with microsofts tweaks.
This is a brand new computer using Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and I guess
I thought it would be okay to go ahead and let the auto updates run for a
while. My Structural engineer never lets microsoft update his skystem. Maybe
he is correct? Should I just turn off updates after doing a system restore to
remove the last barage of them?
Makes me crazy when sometheng like this happens. I thought it was impossible for a time stamp to change - NOTE: I noteced that when
the erronious time stamped job is being opened it does show the correct
date under the last modified line.
All very disconcerting to me, someone who looks through jobs folders for
the latest date.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I'm defenetly going to disable auto updates unless someone can talk me
out of it - and I'm doing it RIGHT NOW

DARN MACHINE IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD.

Thank you all so much for any insight on this, just another in a long line of blood pressure raising events.

Check that your Windows Explorer is set to show the 'Modified Date' and not just the 'Date'.
Most often they seem to be the same but they can be different.
Just right click in the headings to choose what you want.
