Viruses are very small infectious agents which can multiply only in host cells. They do not replicate and survive on their own instead are dependent on the host for everything. Outside the host, viruses can be stored in a powdered form for many years just like chemicals. So, there is a controversy about viruses being living or non living as outside the host they behave as non living particles; but inside the host, they are replicating and multiplying and behave as living organisms.
