Each virus counter after the first on Medium allows you to access 1 additional card from R&D whenever you access cards from R&D.

The one with 5 virus counters will let you see an additional 4 cards, and the one with 2 will let you see an additional 1. You can acccess up to 6.

I'm not sure if you had already processed "successful run" effects or not when you said there were 5/2 virus conters on your Mediums.

The run is considered "successful" at flow chart step 4.2. You then trigger any abilities from a successful run, like adding virus counters. As such, if you started the run with 5/2 counters, they would increment to 6/3 counters before you access cards in step 4.3. Six counters gives 5 extra cards and 3 counters gives 2 extra cards, which would result in 8 total cards.

If you were referring to virus counter totals having already processed successful run abilities, then the above poster is correct.
