Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services

ee_moss points out this Washington Post article (via Yahoo!), excerpting "The latest variant of the Netsky worm directing infected computers to launch Web-based attacks against music- and file-trading Web services such as Kazaa, taking down at least one company's Web sites in the process. The worm, the 19th version of a bug that made its debut in February, is also targeting some Web sites that offer computer programs designed to illegally break or bypass copyright controls on software programs."

Rather than use my mod points, I thought that I would point out one of the biggest arguments...

What is the plural of virus?

A little quote:
It is not viri, or (worse) virii. True, the word comes directly from Latin, but not all Latin words ending in -us have -i as their plural. Besides, viri is the Latin word for 'men' (plural of vir, "man," the root of English virile). There is in fact no written attestation of a Latin plural of virus.
