Tom,
Oops the second 'i' was a mistake......but you are perfectly right
If you are going to be really pedantic, the latin for Viruses is Irusesvavy
or somesuch. I don't vouch for the spelling as it is 6 years since I last
read Latin.
If you have the time and the inclination, you can research it on:
http://www.quicklatin.com/. I'm off to catch the train home :)

Alumnus. Alumni. NOT Alumnuii.
Incubus. Incubi. NOT Incubuii.
Virus. Viri. NOT Viruii. NOT virii. Viruses is proper English. Viri
is proper Latin.
