No, there are virii and worms in the wild.
This is one of my pet hates. There is no such word as "virii". The correct plural of "virus" in the English language is "viruses". Whilst the word virus comes from Latin, the common pluralisation by replacing "us" with "i" would result in "viri". The Latin word "viri" is actually the plural of "vir" and means "men". There is no known plural for "virus" in Latin.
"Virii" is just non-sensical and means nothing at all. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
