Several things could cause this.

Open your computers Time Manager. Make sure it is showing the correct time and timezone settings.

Are you using the atomic clock to keep the computers accurate?

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player or remove it using these links; Uninstall Flash Player | Windows {web link} Uninstall Flash Player | Mac {web link}

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: Version 32.0.0.114

My computer time settings is correct, time have a sync with time.windows.com server.

Reinstalling Flash player didn't solve this problem.

Thanks for help!

Then you got something fishy going on with your O/S and if you using VPN or Proxy this can also account for the different time zone.

Check your setup with the Windows-7 "Change Date and Time Settings".
