This is (generally) referring to a VIRUS particle. Viruses can reproduce (a characteristic of living organisms) but may also be crystallised (a characteristic of non-living organisms). For this reason, a good number of scientists prefer not to talk of a virus as a living thing and even find discord classifying it under the normal taxonomic concepts and rules.
Ebola is NOT a eukaryote. Ebola is NOT a prokaryote. Ebola IS a VIRUS. ALL Viruses are NOT considered either prokaryotes or eukaryotes because they lack the characteristics of living things - (except the ability to replicate and to do that they have to hijack another living cell).

A virus is a microscopic being that can invade and destroy a cell. Viruses have some, but not all, of the characteristics of living things.

A virus is considered non-living. It does not have all the characteristics of a living thing unlike bacteria. Viruses need living cells to reproduce while any living things can reproduce (asexually or not).
Scientists do not classify viruses as living things because they lack key characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce and carry out metabolic processes on their own. Viruses are considered biological entities that require a host cell to replicate.
It is incorrect to call a virus a microbe because a microbe is a living organism, while a virus is not. Viruses do not exhibit all the characteristics necessary to be classified as a living organism.
Unlike living things a virus does not make or use genetic material such as DNA. Viruses do not create their own DNA.
Since they are not living, they are not classified and placed in a kingdom.
Of all these things, the virus is the only non-living thing. Viruses are not living organisms. E.coli is a bacteria and living.
Some would say a virus.
Viruses are considered to be non-living things, and are capable of causing disease. The reason viruses are not considered living is because they lack many of the characteristics of life until they infect a host cell.
