Because viruses are single-cell organisms, they can mutate (evolve) quicker than complex, multi-cell organisms, where evolution gradually happens over time spans that humans can hardly fathom. Viral mutations give evolutionary biologists the opportunity to observe the process within timespans a human being can grasp. It not only supports the theory of evolution, but confirms it with demonstrable evidence.

How are fossils used to oppose the theory of evolution?

Fossils are not used to oppose the theory of evolution. They acutually support it in every way. So far not one fossil has been found that is not exactly where you would expect it to be if evolution were true. As we dig deeper we go further back in time and see by piecing fossils together how organisms evolved over time. Although we don't need fossils to support the fact that evolution is happening, it's a nice bonus to have in support of the theory.
