A bit early for a virus Nick , sometimes leaves curl up from over watering, also when the weather suddenly goes warm, they do it to grow more roots.
The yellowing could be something else, any chance of putting a picture on here.
Sometimes plant do get a bit of a shock from indoors to outdoors, it is worth leaving them in the greenhouse just for the night for the first few evenings, but it all depends on how cold the nights have been.
Its a funny old year this year for growing though.

No , I don't understand what that means. It is only one of my tamato plants that is in a very bad state, the others are okay i think. But one got small yellow brown bits on one of the leaves.Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostComment

Nick, hardening off simply means getting plants used to their new positions gradually. If they've been in a warm greenhouse you can 't just suddenly put them outside - they're a bit like us in that they don't like sudden changes. What you do is you put them outside during the day and bring them back into the greenhouse for the night for about a week. Then you can usually leave them outside permanently (I hope we won't get any more frost this summer)Comment
