Viruses aren't alive because they cannot survive on their own. They need to mesh with another cell in order to function.

While the answer below is creative and can somewhat be understood, the simple answer to this question is: No. A computer virus is not alive. It is just a malevolent program that is designed to automatically attack a computer, but it is not alive like viruses that attack a human body.A living virus?In my opinion; A computer virus acts like a program, but when executed, it does malicious tasks automatically in your computer without you knowing. Since it works inside a computer, it's like it breathes on electricity, and thinks with the Artificial Intelligence given by its creator. Without electricity, the virus doesn't breathe its source of life for it to do its purpose. So you could say it is "virtually" alive or something like that.
Virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. Viruses are not alive to begin with and therefore are not classified into a category
