The spots in your pictures and the fact that your plant is virused are probably not related. As I and others have said, viruses are more often than not clear of visual symptoms and the spots you showed are not one that indicates virus. If you test all your plants, you will probably want top commit suicide. The best approach is treat all plants as virused and practice appropriate culture and tool cleanliness to avoid transmitting virus to clear plants. If you see symptoms like color breaks, throw the plant away because the blooms will never be right.

Unfortunately in this day of mericloning, viruses are the rule, not the exception.
