The things commonly considered to be viruses are typically malware. Viruses and such are written to either be malicious in nature, or retrieve data from the infected node, thus distributing that information publically or to the infect(or).
Personal reasons for distributing a virus can vary.
Both types:are spread by contact with a contaminated sourcecan be blocked with defensescan be modified and weaponisedcan go away after a time if certain measures are takencan kill whatever they infectcan change over timecan be costlyDifferences:computer viruses only work in a computer hostbiological viruses only work in a biological hostbiological viruses can spontaneously mutatecomputer viruses are createdbiological viruses are far more complex
A virologist is a scientist who studies viruses.
Viruses have the ability to greatly affect life on earth. Many viruses, such as HIV and influenza have killed millions of people. By studying viruses, scientists are able to develop vaccines that will protect people (and animals) from viruses.
Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are typically 10 to 100 times larger than viruses.

No, viruses are nonliving.
NO, if you typed "viruses'" (viruses with an apostrophe) it would mean "The viruses' (more than one virus's) something.
Viruses that consist of only a nucleocapsid are considered naked viruses. These viruses lack an outer lipid envelope and rely on the nucleocapsid structure for protection and infectivity. Naked viruses tend to be more stable in the environment compared to enveloped viruses.
DNA and RNA viruses.
Anyone can create viruses!
Biological viruses.
