No sure why you repost the same query with a different object. See below
  my reply to your post "Clock always one hour ahead":

Just to start from the simplest base possible, I would start:

1/ by unchecking the automatically adjust for daylight saving"
2/ Uncheck in Internet time the "Automatically synchronize..."
3/ adjust the time if necessary and reboot. Make sure the time is still
correct.

If the time remains correct the next days, you will have to reverse the
process until the problem reappears (if it does). Then, you will know
what causes the problem.

If this does not take care of the problem, some software you are using
probably causes the problem. I ran into the same kind of problem until I
found that a program I used to synchronize folders was messing up the
time. I contacted the developer who recognized the problem and said they
were working on it.

Keep me posted privately if you would, this issue is of special interest
to me.
