There are several good applications that do this. I've used NetTime for 
several years. http://www.timesynctool.com/  It runs in the background, 
can be set to sync at intervals that make sense for your PC.

BTW -- the accuracy of the clock in a computer is NOT a function of 
battery condition, but rather the temperature in your shack and the 
temperature stability of the clock. One of my computers needed a sync 
every half hour to be good enough for WSJT modes, while others can go 
for days. With NetTime, you can see the time correction applied at each 
sync.
