They vary significantly depending on the type of virus, however, viruses are sub-microscopic and require an electron microscope to visualize and very very tiny compared to the size of bacteria.
For example:
The Swine Flu viruses (including Novel H1N1 2009 Swine Flu) are very similar in structure to all Influenza Type A viruses. They are also very similar in size to most viruses.
They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. Most are "nano" size and too miniscule to be seen with a regular light microscope, so electron microscopes need to be used to visualize the virus particles.
When measured they have a diameter of 10 to 300 nanometers. The nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter.

Is a cold sore caused by a bacteria?
A cold sore is caused by a virus.
How does the herpes virus that causes cold sores infect host cells differently than a cold virus would infect host cells?
The herpes that causes cold sores remains in the nervous system and is reactivated from time to time. The sore reappears at this time. A cold virus doesn't act this way in the nervous system. Once a person has a cold, that person makes enough antibodies so that the virus doesn't cause a cold again in that person.
