Of course, you're absolutely fine.

is it legal to use any of the virus sounds (presets and custom made) commercially or to upload to the internet for free or to sell ?

Which format? As audio, or as actual Virus patches (in MID format data)?
As audio, you're completely free to sample patches. It would be cheeky to just sample other people's presets and sell them, though. A grey area.
As Virus patches (MID format data), it's illegal to sell other people's patches as your own, however I'm sure you know this. Of course you can sell your own custom patches.

i know that buying a virus means that i can use it in my own music comercially ...are there any restrictions or anything that i should be aware of?

Just one more stipulation that I can think of: Although the Virus is mostly algorithmic synthesis (as opposed to something like a Korg workstation for example, which uses actual recorded samples of pianos and stuff) the 63 PCM waveshapes in the Virus are effectively short samples and as such I believe are copyright protected by Access. By all means use them in your patches, just don't sample the PCMs dry/raw (soloed, with no modulation) and sell them.
