So last night I took your advice and it did work. I also realized that even though my cabling was correct, the settings for my T.C. Near (using Studio Konnekt 48 ) were also wrong.
So after I got a signal going through the virus I was able to choose patches and I was able to play with the FX section and Filters. There are a few problems at first though. The signal going through the virus was not the same as the bypass signal, even when I used an init patch. Later I realized that the Boost setting in the Virus config was distorting the input signal. I was able to fix that. For some reason the Atomizer was working; all I got was the channel signal going straight through the virus. [Note that I used the Virus as an external input fx on my song's master channel.]
Another problem: even though the only channel out of 16 in VC was outputing the input signal to analog output 2 L/R, in NEARs direct monitoring I was getting a duplicate signal in analog output 1 L/R also.... weird.
Overall I wasn't too happy with the experience. Even with a clean signal going through the virus I was still getting some sound artifacts (like pops and clicks) which are not present in the bypass signal.
I hope someone at Access can make something of this information. I would eventually like to get a snow to use as a dedicated FX processor for my studio and also for on the go with my DJM-800 but not anytime soon.
