a virus because they are not considered living due to the fact that they can only reproduce my attack host cells
Virus cannot considered living. They lack cellular organization

Viruses are considered to be non-living and because they are not alive, they can not reproduce. A better term is to replicate or make a copy of themselves. It is like using a copy machine.
