These are stored in capsule made up of protein and covered with lipid layer 
The viruses only replicate within the host cell and the viral replication depends on the metabolic process of the individual cell.. 
Viruses doesn't pass the cell wall but they RNA or DNA enclosed in a cell of protein called Capsid..
From the past 50 years,virus are detected have been identified in the infected cell and some viruses have their own which may have higher affinity for some antimetabolites.. 
Various drugs have been developed which targeted ,virus specific steps like cell penetration, uncoating reverse transcription etc..
Drugs are different for differ kind of viruses.. 
Drugs for non reterovial 
1-Anti-herpes virus - Idoxuridine, Acyclovir
2-Anti-hepatitis drug
For hepatitis B -Lamavudine, Tenofour 
For hepatitis C -Ribovirin 
3-Anti influenza drug -Amantadine Rimantadine 

Drugs for retero virus (Anti -reterovial drugs) 
1-Neucloside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) -Zedovudine, Didanosine
