Although I do not have a technical answer for you but rather a pragmatic humanistic suggestion and if you bought it recently off ebay, file a claim as not being represented as it stated. You have not stated whether this is a Virus B YOU have owned for X-amount of time/years/months and what, if anything, happened to make you aware of something going very wrong??!
IF you purchased it locally off another recently and this just happened or upon firstly ever turning it on you discovered this--get your money back. The missing pieces to your story might help in anyone possibly diagnosing your problem or can relate a simiar probelm. Power supplies in your studio area should be not only surge protector but also power conditioned to protect from RFI/EMI damage as well. FYI--Furman make a $35.usd 6 plug outlet in a heavy duty metal box that protects from ALL aformentioned things that our sensative instruments need benefit from AND this power outlet supply has a FIFTEEN FOOT heavy duty line on it and is called Furman SS-6B Pro Plugs. Hope this helps in future and that you can post more info on how you both obtained your Virus B and circumstances leading to your current circumstance (mind the pun).
