Replicate
Viruses are simple, and not cells, they attach to a cell infect it with viral RNA than disperse.
They dont metbolize, use respiration, and not all living organisms move (plant cells) but they can move depending one what virus it is
Viruses evolve, mutate and replicate at an alarming rates. Its to the point where you have to get newer shots more often because the virus changes or replicates so much

Are bacteria and viruses living things?
Virioids and Viruses are 'psuedo-living' entities, and cannot truly be called 'living creatures'. To be classified as 'alive', an organism needs to meet several criteria, like the ability to respond to stimuli, grow, develop, reproduce, etc. The only one of these characteristic viruses, viroids and prions share with living creatures, is the ability to repoduce. They are self-replicating pieces of DNA or RNA, sometimes covered with a coat of proteins, and do not show any other characteristics of being a living creature.
