The L-Virus (Ｌウィルス, L-Wirusu) is a computer-bug-like virus that Leviathan uses to make Appmon run wild. If any Appmon, including 7codes, are in the presence of a Virusmon, the Virusmon will spew a purple gas containing the virus. Those who inhale it are then quickly infected. Reactions to the virus vary, but all infected Appmon cause trouble. Some examples are sharing private data, changing or hiding information, and taking over other computer systems. It seems to have been designed to create chaos, and played a major role when the frenzied Bootmon unlocked the path to the God Grade under its influence. Once Appmon take enough damage to be purged of the virus, they revert to their normal selves and fix malfunctions they have caused within their apps.
Notable symptoms of this virus include red eyes, and an aggressive attitude to anyone who doesn't have the virus. Other symptoms include darker skin tones on some Appmon, and the Appmon's body is surrounded by faint black mist. In some cases, the infected Appmon will also have no iris or pupil, and red outlines on the edges of the eyes. The respective Appmon's App will also be affected in a crazy way.
After an infected Appmon loses against a non-infected Appmon in battle, they will be surrounded by 3 energy rings as a 3-second timer will countdown before the virus "poofs" out of the Appmon in the form of a white dust cloud. Once the cloud clears, the Appmon will appear non-infected before teleporting into an Appli Drive, and turning into an Appmon Chip. Seven Code Appmon will have the same thing, only they will display a special orb of the color of their type, and they won't have the timer. When they come out of the cloud however, their entire body will turn golden. In other cases, all the symptoms just fade off. First the mist fades, and the skin tone returns to normal. Then, the iris and pupils return as the Appmon's behavior returns to normal. Many have described the cure as a sense of relaxation, and some have related it to something they enjoy.
Appearances[edit]
Anime[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
Leviathan uses the L-Virus to make Appmon run wild and interfere with the services connected to their apps. Virusmon spread the infection through a purple gas. Even the Seven Code Appmon can be infected.
The disturbances caused by infected Appmon reflect their respective functions, such as exposing private messages or manipulating information. The Appli Drivers defeat and purify these Appmon, often obtaining their Appmon Chips afterward. Purification is frequently depicted through rings surrounding the defeated Appmon and a countdown, after which the infection disappears.
Mienumon also uses the virus for specific operations. She orders Virusmon to infect Resshamon to observe human behavior during a crisis. Later, she deploys Virusmon against Waffle OS, disrupting the operating system until Globemon eliminates them.
During the Humanity Applification Plan, Oozora Yujin infects Bootmon, making him more violent while retaining his childish personality. He then uses Bootmon's abilities to activate the God Grade through Deusmon's Chip and combines him with Shutmon to create Rebootmon's Chip.

Virusmon infect other Appmon, causing them to run wild and interfere with the systems they manage. Virusmon themselves can also become infected: during the early incidents investigated by Kazuki/Itsuki, the protagonist and Onmon discover that the Virusmon they have been pursuing is infected. They eventually defeat and purify it in the sewers.
Other infected Appmon take control of facilities throughout the Hifumigaoka Peripheral Region. During the quest "Let's Fix the Water Supply", an infected Weathermon occupies the Water Quality Lab in Mihamakou. After being defeated, he has no memory of his actions and apologizes upon learning what happened, promising to resume his normal duties.
