No, viruses are approximately 100-1000 times smaller than a mitrochondrion (which is roughly the size of a bacterium). Viruses are dependent upon the host cell for any necessary energy requirements.

Is a mitochondria living or nonliving?

There is no yes or no answer to this question, it is the same with the question on whether or not viruses are alive. It is worth mentioning though, that mitochondria are able to respire unlike viruses. They share a few characteristics with living organisms. Mitochondria poses their own DNA, they reproduce and respire. Mitochondria are similar to bacteria in many ways. A good theory on the origin of mitochondria is that a bacteria survived after being engulfed by a larger cell, and formed a mutual symbiosis. If it helps, my personal opinion is that mitochondria are alive, but heavily dependent on a mutual symbiosis of a host cell.
