FoxClocks retrieves GMT/UTC from your Operating System (it does not synchronize GMT from a remote server, a job best done by your OS). If this GMT value is incorrect, FoxClocks will not work properly until you correct your system time/time zone settings (this may even involve updating your OS). You can check that your system is reporting GMT correctly in the GMT/UTC section of the Time Zone Data tab of the Options window (timeanddate.com is a good source for current GMT). Note that your system may be incorrectly reporting GMT even if the system clock shows the correct local time. If you’re still having problems, make sure that you are running the latest version of FoxClocks (the version number is visible at the bottom-right of the main FoxClocks window), and that your time zone database is up-to-date. If you’re still having problems, see this FAQ.
