ARRRGGGGHHHH!
PLEASE tell me where you get the ghastly non-word "virii" as a plural of virus?
If it were a second declension Latin noun, it would have the plural "viri" - where does that second "i" come from?
However, the fact is that "virus" is NOT a second declension noun. It's an irregular noun (meaning "poison") and has no plural in Latin.

I don't have to guess; I can see the Windows logo on my bank's ATMs as they boot. (They run Windows server 2003, as a matter of interest.).
