A good article on this subject which looks at it from all angles is at http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=are-viruses-alive-2004


Here's one quote backing my position:
"Most evolutionary biologists hold that because viruses are not alive, they are unworthy of serious consideration when trying to understand evolution. They also look on viruses as coming from host genes that somehow escaped the host and acquired a protein coat. In this view, viruses are fugitive host genes that have degenerated into parasites."
