Yeah I have to say you're right. If Claire really does have the power to help stop the virus... Then "save the cheerleader, save the world" would really come true! Not that it hasn't... But yeah.
Anyway how long has the company known about the virus? They should have used Adam's regenerative capabilities to try to cure it long ago! When he was still in captive I mean.
I don't think they know the virus can spread yet, it was only Shanti that time who was infected. So the mutation of that virus came a bit later. All they know was Mohinder has the anti-bodies. They were even surprised that the blood can't cure Nikki, because originally the plan was to inject Maury and Mohinder will heal him. But that didn't work so Bob, with months of research, thought that regeneration can cure the virus. So they have to bring Claire in to experiment on her blood. That is why the company wants noah to give Claire to them when she manifests her ability (they don't know when that was but they found out when Ted radiated their home and Thompson arrived there.) But noah doesn't want to give her up, he even said to Claire that the company will stick needles in her and lock her up in a cell... so he knows that Claire is an alternative source for a cure in case the virus will mutate.
They can't experiment on Adam, because he became too powerful for them, right? that's why he was locked up. we don't know still how his powers could mutate into something else... after 400 years, Im pretty sure it mutated.
