Presumably no one would have wanted to risk going through that headache again.

The Avenger virus caused a big problem when it was first used - Ba'al was able to reverse-engineer it pretty quickly and modify it for his own ends, nearly leaving Earth and its allies stranded across the galaxy.

No Wraith, and no World Ending explosions. After the job is done you then use your gate to transmit the update that gets rid of the virus, which then transfers through the gate system as each gate "unlocked" randomly dials new gates. You can then turn on the Attero device and fly around blowing up Wraith ships in huge numbers (either the Ancients or Terrans can easily mass enough ships to overwhelm the mostly scattered Hives).

Why not use this to your advantage? You send out the Virus that causes the gates to lock up as they dial every gate they can think of until every gate is unable to dial out except yours. However in SG-1 we say they had the ability to stop Stargates from successfully dialing out by scrambling the DHD program so it dialed random, useless, addresses.

So they have the Attero Device that blows up Wraith starships that attempt to jump to hyperspace - however it has that nasty side effect of causing any Stargates that attempt to dial another blow up.
