STARS...a VFR aircraft was 7-8 NM northeast of ADS at 1;600 FT departing east. The aircraft was being displayed as a box (1200 beacon code) 1;600 FT; then it changed to a triangle; then to a splat; then to a box triangle box; you get the idea. The STARS acted like it could not figure out what it was supposed to place on it (box; triangle or *). It also kept double printing the altitude. I called ADS Tower and asked them what they were seeing with this aircraft and they indicated the same thing that I saw. It was reported to management.
