Not 'virii' - that would be the plural of the non-existent word 'virius'. The Latin word 'virus' is actually neuter but has the masculine form in the singular. So the plural is probably 'viri', less probably 'vira'. But 'viruses' should be good enough for electronics. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
