once they infect a cell they take over the machinery of the host cell to replicate themselves i.e. act like living.

Yes, I agree that virus is not an organism because it does not contain any cell, neither a unicellular nor a multi cellular.
Explanation:
- The nature of virus is still a puzzle for many biologists, whether it is a living or a non-living.
- Virus cannot replicate themselves, they infect a host and multiply.
- They are not stable. The main reason behind why a virus is a not an organism is that it does not use or need energy to survive.
