A Virus can be killed but NOT cured.
If there is a virus on a tabletop, bleach will KILL it. If you have a virus in your body, there is NO cure for ANY virus out there (think cold, flu, AIDS).
If you want scientific evidence, look it up on google!

Virus outside a cell is DNA, cover with a membrane. So outside they cant be consider totally a living creature, but inside an hostess cell, they send information, altering the information of the host cell, and they can reproduce.
A definitive answer is still elusive because some organisms considered to be living exhibit characteristics of both living and non-living particles, as viruses do.
So more than killing it, is destroying it!

Yes. Your body can kill a virus. How ever there is no medical cure for a virus. Exsample; why is it that if you get on a plane and some one has legioneers dieses and not every one catches it. Your body has every thing it needs to combat it. But sometimes you need to have your body kickstarted. Go to www.LYMEFREE.com for info on the research of Gary Blier. He is a specialist on the subject.

In regard to treating people with infectious diseases, antibiotics only work against bacteria either in the form of bacterial-static or bactericidal actions.
Virus infections can not be treated or "killed" by antibiotics.

I dont think so..but viruses are the kind of things that need another body to live i think....otherwise they will die(well yes i guess so then).without a host?

Virus are like the living dead. They are not alive nor are they dead. They are activated when they leech onto a living cell.

yes they can be destroyed but they are all different e.g. hepatitis can live in cool dry conditions for some time but HIV easily wiped out with good hygiene measures

If you consider viruses to be "alive", yes.
