Viruses, please.
Not virii.

Not that I'm any sort of classicist.

I'm going to go out on a limb here... my guess is that Virii is the English version 
of the word and Viruses is the American version.  Funnily enough, when doing my 
degree in Plymouth my lecturers were quite happy to accept work with either term, 
although most of them tended to use virii themselves.

Grant.
