The viruses are not active outside the host body as they do not show any molecular movement when outside a body. So, there is also a controversy about it being alive or not.
Viruses are non-cellular structures. They are not truly living as they do not have cell structure(lack cytoplasm). Outside any living cell they are inert crystalline structure. When they enter host cell they get the medium for their internal processes and hence function as a cell.
