A virus uses an organism as a host and usually causes it to get sick or perish. It is made up of DNA, a protein layer, and lipids on the outside.
The virus is neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic. Viruses are considered acellular entities that do not fit into the traditional classification of living organisms.
Flu is neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic. It's a virus.
The jury is still out on this one, since the existence of viruses became known after the current taxonomical system of classification was devised. In other words, the virus is not currently included in any of the five kingdoms of living matter, these being Anamalia, Plantae, Fungi, Monera and Protista. Also, it is still uncertain at which point a virus becomes living matter, with some researchers professing that the virus is the link between living and non-living matter. Perhaps a sixth kingdom, if has not already been proposed.
Since this is in the computer virus category, I'll assume that you're referring to a computer virus.For a computer program to be a virus it must be:Self-ReplicatingPart of Another File (if it stands alone, it's a worm)Malicious or Generally UnwantedStealthyA virus would be classified under the more general category of "Malware", alongside Trojan horses, worms, etc.See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virusOtherwise "classification" is highly ambiguous, could you please qualify it?
Answer by Techsupportcapsid provides the second major criterion for the classification of viruses. The capsid surrounds the virus and is composed of a finite number of protein subunits known as capsomeres, which usually associate with, or are found close to, the virion nucleic acid.
a virus doesn't have a classification but they may put it in its own category.

Herpes Zoster...the same virus as Chicken Pox.
Do you mean the actual name of a virus or the classification of it? Well, for the latter, a virus that conceals itself or appears to be a legitimate program is called a Trojan.
The virus is neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic. Viruses are considered acellular entities that do not fit into the traditional classification of living organisms.
The family classifciation that the West Nile Virus falls under is Flaviviridae. This is a mosquito born virus that has been wide-spread amongst humans and horses.
Flu is neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic. It's a virus.
It is not in any phylum. Viruses are not living organisms, so they do not fit in the classification system we have for living creatures.

The common cold virus, or rhinovirus, belongs to the kingdom Viruses. Viruses are not classified under any kingdom in traditional biological classification systems because they are considered acellular and do not fit the criteria for living organisms.
The Scientific name of the West Nile Virus is Flavivirus. Also, it's Classification is: Group: Group IV Family: Flaviridae Genus: Flavivirus Species: West Nile Virus The West Nile Virus is carried by mosquitos and mammals and birds can get sick from it.
In a virus, the genus classification refers to a group of related viruses that share similar characteristics, such as genetic makeup and structure. It is a taxonomic rank above species and helps in organizing viruses into distinct categories based on their similarities.
