I used to wonder the same thing until I took molecular biology. Viruses are little more than specialized DNA molecules that are coated in a envelope of proteins for protection and mobility. Most of the time, a virus spends its time as a DNA strand incorporated in the genome of another organism in an attempt to replicate itself along with the rest of the organism's genome.
