It is important to note it is actually incorrect and the correct plural for 'virus' is 'viruses'
People use virii instead of viruses because

i) the magical stones called 'runestones' but oftenly referred to as 'runes'
ii) A type of armour that is light blue/cyan and requires 40 defence to wear. Rune armour is better than leather, bronze, steel (level 5), black (level 10), mithril(level 20) and adamant (level 30.)

Yay! Lots of Runes!

I'm saving for Rune armour.
