I've said many times as an advice to beginner Virus users that before you start fooling around take the manual in your hand and read it through while trying out the features with your Virus. That way you learn how to use your synth and you also learn how different parts of Virus affect the sound.
So the best way simply is that choose the last patch of C bank and start reading the manual. And for example when you get to the part explaining oscillator section you tweak the oscillators in a way explained in the manual (like this: Manual says: "This knob here controls the shape of first oscillator", you turn the shape knob and say: "Cool!"). When you're through the oscillator part of the manual you reload the last patch of C bank and move to next chapter which probably is filter section. Continue this until you have read through the whole manual and went through every part of your Virus. Now it's time to start fooling around. Reload the last patch of C bank and start experimenting.
Edit: And speaking of hoovers aren't they consisted from PWM waves, not saws?
