What's "silly" is that antibiotics work by interfering with some part of a bacterium's metabolism. But viruses don't have any metabolic processes. They are inert until they insert part of themselves into a cell, and then they take over the cells' reproductive machinery. The only metabolic processes to gum up are those belonging to the host cell, and an antibiotic that attacked that would be poisonous to the host organism.

Nanoviricides work by fooling a virus into attaching to it rather than to a cell, and conveniently the viruses self destruct. Most bacteria aren't even trying to enter a cell in the first place.
