In that case fire would be alive too...
It starts.
It consumes things it burns (the waste are ashes).
It can change into a high flame or it can be just a small spark.
It stops burning when it runs out of oxigen or if it runs out of stuff to burn (or if put out).
Millions of fires throughout the world.
Fire starts burning into several directions and cen kill the person trying to put it out.
But it's still not alive.

Fire doesn't respire, neither do computer viruses. Respiration is the release of energy from the breakdown of glucose.
