Viruses have four main shapes:
1. spherical (like a ball)
2. helical (like a corkscrew or a spring)
3. Icosahedron (a twenty-sided shape kind of like two prisms glued together)
4. Bacteriophage (an icosahedron head and a spider-like tail)

if your talking about the cell then they can be any shape
a sphere, spiral and a rod
Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
Two types of shapes are 1. 1D Shapes 2. 2D Shapes Thanks Gaurang
For computer viruses, they have no physical shape, they are a string or program of codes that are made to effect files Regular viruses have a shape, but they are not needed as they dont effect what they do. Viruses just look like any bacterium, or in a spiderlike form.
