It wasn't a virus. It was just an error most of the developers didn't figure in. After the year count incremented from 99 to 2000, the computers would reset them to 00 (consider using two digit numbers to represent the year).

aarthivgThe Year 2000 problem also known as the Y2K problem, it was a problem for both digital and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits.
that is ..97, 98, 99, 00... ascending numbering assumption suddenly became invalid.
Secondly, some programmers had misundertood the rule that although years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, if they are divisible by 400 then they are. Thus the year 2000 was a leap year.
