A microbe is basically something you that can only be viewed under the microscope. As a virus is a microbe, you have your answer. Viruses infect a cell, then force it to make copies of itelf until the cell dies. Because of this, antibiotics for them are incredibly hard to make, because to kill the viruses inside the infected cell, the cell too must be destroyed.

Anti-Biotics, as their name implies, fight against Biotic invaders in the body (eg, bacteria). Viruses are genetic material encased in a protein coat, where bacteria are cellular organisms. Typical antibiotics are composed of antibodies that mark harmful bacteria or infected cells as targets for destruction by an individual's immune system, or hinder bacteria growth. (Eg, penicillin)

Viruses are not bacteria, and invade and cause harm to the body through different mechanisms.

Anti-viral drugs "kill" viruses.
