Answer #1

Viruses insert their genetic material into organism's DNA in order to replicate.
Antibiotic targets on particular part of Bacteria thus it cannot kill viruses as the viruses and bacteria have different parts eg. Cellwall of bacteria affected by antibiotic while virus do not have cellwall.
Antibiotics blocks the formation and functioning of cellwall in bacteria then they do not divide and hence die while virus do not have their machinery of own they enters the human body and use our cells as their machinery so by antiviral agents it affects our own cells, it destroys our own cells so it is difficult to form and use antiviral agents.
