Virus plural is either viruses or viri. As it lacks a Latin plural (which would be viri) due to being a mass noun and misused in English there is a grey area as to how the plural should be formed, in the Germanic viruses way or the Latin viri way.
I prefer viri to be consistent in the use of the Latin for Latin nouns even if the Romans didn't use them as a plural, had they done so it would have been viri and our lack of knowledge of the word should not vary our usage thereof. I attempt to use this consistently although it is hard with so many words plural forms being unknown to English speakers (campus, bonus, fungus, etc.)
