Patent Claims:	1. A method for treating virus diseases, which comprises administering to a patient in need of said treatment an effective antiviral amount of a phosphonylmethoxyalkyladenine of the formula (I) ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 is methylene, --CH(OH)--CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR4## and R.sup.2 is a hydroxyl group, and, wherein, when R.sup.1 is different from methylene, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be linked with each other to form a cyclic ester group, said adenine derivative being in (RS) or (S) form when R.sup.1 is different from methylene and further being in the form of a free acid or a salt thereof wherein the salts are selected from the group consisting of alkali metal, ammonia, and amine salts. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said virus disease is caused by a herpes virus. 4. A method of claim 1, wherein said virus disease is caused by pox virus. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said virus disease is caused by a retrovirus. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said virus disease is caused by reovirus. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said virus disease is caused by parainfluenza virus. 8.
