  I Would like some good advice on VIRUS. I am trying to figure out
whether a computer has a virus or the computer is just sick, here
goes:

      While being inside a word processor (MS-Word 5.0) the computer
suddenly hung up, at least the keyboard was disabled. The speaker
started pipping realy madly. The mouse still worked though.
  If the computer was hung the mouse would not work, if the computer
was hung the speaker would not be beeping, but just make a tone,
Have I got a known Virus on my hand or what?
  Any suggestions are welcomed.
