Has the rock got a fusion crust (glassy outer crust) because meteorites commonly do. Also most meteorites are magnetic (including stoney meteorites) but terrestrial rocks that contain magnetite are also magnetic such as basic igneous rocks.
It can be difficult to possitively identify a meteorite even by experts and they will use techniques such as producing a thin section or chemical analysis such as determining the oxygen isotope composition. So the only definite way to confirm it is a meteorite is to take it to an expert.
Absolutely NO extant extraterrestrial life in meteorites (despite what some heretics might say), the only viable microbial life in there is contamination since meteorites have landed on Earth.

If it's very heavy it's probably not lava rock. Lava rock is not very dense, so a large piece won't weigh very much.
You could check your local colleges / universities to see if anyone's interested in identifying it.
No, I've never heard of alien biological viruses getting loose from breaking open a rock.

Got a digital camera? Take a picture and post it online.
