Just for the record (and not as any kind of flame, insult or other
offense), the plural of "virus" is "viruses".  Virus is not a latin
word, hence using the standard latinized plural form "viri" is not
correct, and "virii" is an interesting new word for which I am sure
there is no current valid definition.

Okay?  Good.  Maybe this should be in the FAQ (although it seems that
no-one ever reads them... )-:
