no, OBS is not a virus. Where did you download it from?

OBS in and of itself is not a virus. Neither is the visually improved Streamlabs OBS. However, if you download it from shady sources it might come with potentially unwanted software, like toolbars or fake tune-up programs, or worse, actual malware.
