Hi Nathalie,
Yes, that is virus. The first one might be a different virus from HVX but the second one has classic symptoms of hosta virus X.
Both plants should be removed and thrown away as soon as possible. Although HVX only spreads by contact with damaged/cut leaves or roots that first picture might be a different virus that could spread differently.
Good luck with them,
Chris
