Some insightful wisdom gleaned from KDE-Look.
"Virii is not a legal latinate word, as would be assumed. It is a mass. noun, like 'universe' or 'milk'. That is, you could say 'kinds of virus', but never 'virii'. Would you want moosii? Anyway, because the definition would be new to english, the proper modern suffix would indeed be "es". Viruses. Neat, eh?"
