I have a PHILIPS PC at home and I'm having a lot of troubles from
with an hardware defect or a virus. I've the doubt 'cause I tried
to identify the virus with scanv77 and it didn't find anything out
(btw I've booted from a sure "clean" disc). The problem come after 
some time that I work with a work processor (in this case ClearSoft's
ClearText) and does display random char (control only) on the screen.
The problem does not come only with the WP, but with other programs,
too. The displayed chars aren't as random as I said, 'cause they allway
begin with a long sequence of small hearts, and the following have
some rules, too, because the WP allways ends his operation in the 
same state. The only way to stop the problem is by pressing the 
ctrl-Break key. This stop the problem, but the most times it is too
late, 'cause some deadly code has allready been send...


As I said I tried everything to identify a possible virus, but it don't
seem to be. My configuration is :


Philips '286 with 640k / ALPS 2.13 BIOS, EGA adapter (GENOA chip set),
modem (but the problem does not come from here), 20 Mb HD drive
(set up as TYPE 2), DOS 3.3, 1.2Mb DD, and serial/parallel adapter.



Hope that somebody can help me to find out what the problem could be.
