Think I may have found the reason why the Virus updates have been scarce this past year or two.
Christoph Kemper (aka Kemper Digital), the founder and primary coder for the Virus ever since its first inception, has been working on high-end
profiling amplifiers for guitarists the last two years or so, the first of which was released in January 2012 last year. Several new versions debuted
at the 2013 NAMM show just a few days ago.
Guess the guy can't split himself in two, and has chosen to expand into the guitar arena for the time being. We may even have seen some of that technology trickle into the Virus in former updates (mainly OS v4), such as the stomp-box distortion models and speaker cabinet simulation.

Firewire is nearly dead. USB v2 HighSpeed, or USB v3 would be the way to go to allow for the widest user-base.
