No, it's called perpetual check and is only used by a computer if you are
winning (So the computer wants to draw); if the computer has a very high draw
contemp factor (I've seen Pharaon giving 3.00 score to a draw); or if you are
facing a program that has no idea and sees that giving perpetual check will end
the game soon.

Please tell us what computer program are you using and we'll recommend a better
one (Fruit and Prodeo are the best free ones IMHO [SMIRF is funnier though] but
if you got money, you could try the chessbase family).

Keep trying, Computer Chess is fun at some level :)
