The reason neither Ba'al's Stargate nor Earth's stargate was affected was because the Avenger virus didn't affect the stargate themselves, only their DHD's. As was explained on 'Avenger 2.0', it is like switching all the keys on a keyboard around. The coordinate symbol values were still correct, but their counterpart buttons on the DHD were all switched around. So anyone using a DHD to dial out, would always be dialing the wrong address, even if they physically hit all the keys on the DHD correctly. The only DHD that wasn't affected was Ba'al's DHD, because he knew which keys had been substituted. Also, since Earth doesn't use a DHD, the Earth stargate couldn't be affected.
You see?
