JM> Clearly you don't speak Latin OR English.  If it DID use the same

"Virii", but a)it

Yo-han, Latin plurals are formed in the second declension masculine 
nouns as follows:
stem serv      sigular     plural
Nominative:    servus      servi
Accusative:    servum      servas
and so on...
the word virus, assuming it is taken from Latin, would decline as 
follows:
Nominative:    virus       viri
Accusative:    virum       viras
and so on...
