The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
Viruses can be grouped by their shape, the type of disease they cause, their life cycle, or the kind of genetic material they contain. And, the four main shapes of viruses are: Crystals, Spheres, Cylinders, and Spacecraft.
Viruses come in various shapes including helical, icosahedral, and complex structures. Helical viruses have a cylindrical shape, icosahedral viruses have a roughly spherical shape with 20 triangular faces, and complex viruses have irregular shapes.

A spacecraft virus is a type of malicious software that infects computers and systems on board spacecraft, potentially causing damage to critical hardware, software, or data. These viruses can disrupt communication, navigation, or control systems, posing a serious threat to the mission's success and safety of the spacecraft. Implementing strict cybersecurity measures and regular software updates are essential to prevent spacecraft viruses.

Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
The shape of viruses varies greatly. They can be shaped like small balls (spherical viruses) like strands of spaghetti (flexous viruses) rigid rods, like bullets (baciliform viruses) and like geometric shapes (isocohedral viruses) The smallest viruses can be as small as 20nm (20/1,000,000 of a mm) to as much as 2,000 nm for some flexous plant viruses.
For computer viruses, they have no physical shape, they are a string or program of codes that are made to effect files Regular viruses have a shape, but they are not needed as they dont effect what they do. Viruses just look like any bacterium, or in a spiderlike form.

answer the question porfavor?
Spacecraft virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages. The typical "Spacecraft virus" that you see illustrated in textbooks is typically a T4 Bacteriophage, also called "Enterobacteria Phage T4"
