Viruses and Virii are both correct.

Quoting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_of_virus

"In the English language, the normal plural of "virus" is "viruses". This form of the plural is correct, and used most frequently, both when referring to a biological virus and when referring to a computer virus. The forms "viri" and "virii" are also used as a plural, although less frequently. There is disagreement over whether these forms should be considered correct."
