Since when are viruses considered alive?

When i was taught biology, they weren't alive, but also not quite non-living. If memory serves, that is (it's been a while).

I assume that when people say alive related to viruses in the environment, they mean viable

I learned that they're kinda alive. With the ability to reproduce only using the machinery of living cells to replicate their genetic material and proteins

The world isn't necessarily black and white
