Viruses are different from bacteria in an enormous number of ways.

Firstly, bacteria are cells and viruses are not. Viruses are composed of genetic information encapsulated in a protein coat.

Secondly bacteria can usually reproduce on their own, whereas viruses (with some possible exceptions) must hijack the genetic machinery of other organisms in order to create more copies of themselves. Bacteria perform respiration (or photosynthesis) and exhibit growth, whereas viruses are made of preformed components stolen from host cells.

Bacteria are unarguably alive, whereas viruses are considered to be intracellular parasites when they are attacking a cell and inert matter when they are not (there is still much debate as to whether or not viruses are alive).

From a purely physical standpoint viruses are much smaller than bacteria (with exceptions such as the mamavirus) and form plaques rather than colonies. They usually require an electron microscope to be seen with any detail, whereas most bacteria are readily visible under a light microscope.
Viruses cannot live outside a host.
