How could linux have messed up my computer?

I downloaded a knoppix live cd image and burned it to a cd. I booted up with it and it was working fine. I unplugged my computer from the internet before I tried the live cd just to be safe. When I was done with it I shut down the computer, took the disc out, the normal linux live cd routine. When I rebooted in windows my computer’s time was changed and other various system settings, it took ten minutes to boot up and it is now almost too slow to use, even offline. Programs take almost one minute to start. Could the knoppix iso have a virus for windows in it?
