I wondered that too and then I rewatched the mini-series and the first season.
The cylons viruses were designed to act on Colonial defensive (navigation?) systems. They had an easy time of it thanks to a "protocol" written into those systems by Baltar and Six.
After this was discovered in the mini-series, the crew of Galactica rewrote the programming to exclude it and the new programming was uploaded to the Vipers...I assume they mean Apollo's MK ? as it was the newest.
No reason to think that the Pegasus crew couldn't have done the same, even though they never say they did.
