What type of shape is a virus?
There are 4 types of viruses with different shapes. Tobacco Mosaic Virus - Rod-shaped due to its helical capsid. Adenoviruses - Icosahedral capsid with glycoprotein spikes edging out at each vertex. Influenza Viruses - Spherical. Outer envelope studded with glycoprotein spikes. Bacteriophage T4 - Consists of an icosahedral head, a long tail sheath and small tail fibers (leg-like appearance).
Why viruses are difficult to classify as living organisms?

What are capsid spikes and what are they for?
The spikes you are referring to I am assuming concern viruses. They are located on the envelope surrounding the capsid, typically made up of the host cell material. The spikes themselves are of protein and match with receptors on the host cell. This is kind of like a key to a door. The virus sheds the envelope when entering the host cell, then sheds the capsid, releasing the nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) causing a viral infection to occur.

Vaccines for the prevention of the specific viral infection can be made with inactive "dead" viruses. They are also made with live, but attenuated (weakened), viruses. See more below about vaccines.
