There are no "virii" on Windows either[*].


[*] <pedantic>"Virii" is a non-existent word.  The latin word "virus" is
already plural (and has no singular).  And in any case, "virii" could
only be the plural of a word like "virius", not something like "virus".
Oh, and of course the only correct plural of the English word "virus" is
"viruses".</pedantic>
