Killing sickness: is DRACO a doomsday device for viruses?

So even today, coping with viral infections often means treating the symptoms and waiting for the sickness to (hopefully) run its course. But what if there were a better way? A way to not just prevent infection from some viruses through vaccination, or inhibit a select few using antivirals? What if there were a way to kill all viruses dead, a magic bullet that’d seek out virus-infected cells in the body, then flip their biological suicide switches, leaving the patient healthy and virus-free?
