Yes, just like "virii".  This is why people hate you.

There will always be haters in the world, but I pay them no mind as they are of no consequence or import.

As to "Virii" it's a moot point for academics to argue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us
The Classical Latin I learned in school says it's a valid construction, but the Wikipedia article makes valid points for both forms.

The English language is ultimately about furthering communication; if you understand my intent, it is of no matter whether I say viruii/viruses or boxes/boxen. This ain't French, son, this is a living growing language.

Learn to read. ``Virii'' is incorrect in all cases.

no you
copypasted from the article i mentioned

Use of the form virii

Usage of virii within Internet communities has met with some resistance, most notably by Tom Christiansen, a figure in the Perl community, who researched the issue and wrote what eventually became referred to in various online discussions as the authoritative essay on the subject,[3] favoring viruses instead of virii. The impetus of this discussion was the potential irony that the use of virii could be construed as a claim of superior knowledge of language when in fact more detailed research finds the naive viruses is actually more appropriate. (See hypercorrection.)


appropriate yet not correct
neither is correct one is just more appropriate than the other

Then your article is as moronic as you.  Tom Christiansen never said such a thing.

For that to be a case of hypercorrection, every instance of ``virii'' in that section should read ``viri'', as that would be the plural of ``virus'' (if it weren't a mass noun). ``Virii'' would be the plural of ``virius''.
The original form of that section made more sense, but some idiot (who, like you, slept through his Latin class but felt the fact that he'd attended one made him an expert) must have ``corrected'' it.
