I mean, there's a couple sets of nanomachines that are called viruses but they're really more like techo-organic microparasites and really have very little in common with a true-virus in terms of function beyond the superficial "get into your cells to do it's stuff" similarity.

And using them beneficially is still experimental.
Look, if we're getting into medical fiction like zombies and nanomachines, then there should be zero holdup over me engineering a stable, predictable virus with a mutation chain that behaves exactly as I want it to. It's like that old joke, "D&D has five-ton lizards who fly and shoot fire from their mouths but [ordinary thing] is too unbelievable?" my premium virus is more than stable enough.
