I was wondering about that. McAfee calls their Japanese product "Anti Willis". It should be BAIRASU.

The ancient Latin pronounciation is UIRUSU, but it means "poison". So, I think this might have been some prick of a Japanese scientist using his "knowledge of Latin" to mispronounce a word that has become quite distinct from its Latin meaning.
