Thank you very much for enlightening me. I think it wont be easy for me to get used to use "virii" instead of viruses :) > I also thought I'd point out a few others, since > you're nice enough to ask about "virus".

Also, "its" requires an apostrophe if you are trying to say "it > is" (again, a contraction). Yeah, well heh that was just my laziness coming through ;) (/em takes a mental note to use apostrophes in the future) Maybe i should just get spellchecking working lol. > By the way, your English is quite good.
