I don't think a virus is relevant here. I'm not a lawyer, but the idea of a "terms of service" for an unwanted and maliciously installed executable seems nonsensical. Virus authors can include whatever TOS they want, but the "user" hasn't agreed to the TOS practically by definition.

Unfortunately the law doesn’t view common sense answers like that as easily as you and I.
