Virus has no plural in latin.
I don't see any reference to that in Lewis & Short, but even if this were true, there would still be a valid plural form, even if it were not in use.
Anyway, the plural of 'virus' would be 'vira', not 'virii'. It's second declension neuter. Even if it were masculine (it looks masculine with -us, but it isn't), the plural would be 'viri'.
So what I'm saying is, you're ALL wrong. The plural is 'vira'.
So ha!
