According to the experts at F-Secure, the "Y2K Virus" is just a misnomer given to the Y2K bug by media personnel who didn't completely understand the problem.
Probably a mis-spelling of the Y2K bug.

Y2K was based on the idea that outdated computers would fail to understand the year 2000. As the year 2000 is now over, no.
The Y2K bug was a computer programming issue that caused concern as the year 2000 approached. Many feared that computers would not be able to properly handle the change from 1999 to 2000, potentially causing widespread malfunctions. Significant efforts were made to update and fix systems to prevent major disruptions, and ultimately, the impact of the Y2K bug was minimal.
The U.S. government and private sector collectively spent an estimated $100 billion to $600 billion to address the Y2K bug in the years leading up to January 1, 2000. This extensive investment was aimed at updating computer systems and ensuring that they could properly handle the date change from 1999 to 2000. While the actual impact of the Y2K bug turned out to be minimal, the preparations were significant in scope and scale.
If you read what you just wrote, you will see that you answered your own question. K is the abbreviation for 1000, so 2K would be 2000.
There is no evidence to suggest that anyone committed suicide specifically because of Y2K. While there was concern and anticipation about potential disruptions due to the Y2K bug, it did not lead to any widespread suicides.
Y2K A World in Crisis - 1999 was released on: USA: 15 November 1999
The Y2K bug was a significant event in the history of technology because it highlighted the potential consequences of programming errors and the importance of proper software testing and maintenance. It also led to increased awareness and investment in updating and modernizing computer systems to prevent similar issues in the future.

The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the Millennium bug, the Y2K bug, or simply Y2K) was a problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations that resulted from the practice of truncating a four-digit year to two digits. This made year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900. The former assumption that a twentieth-century date was always understood caused various errors concerning, in particular, the display of dates and the automated ordering of dated records or real-time events.
