Influenza viruses can be destroyed with heat, so if sufficiently heated, the microwaved virus should be neutralized. Common cooking temperatures will be hot enough, 167-212°F (75-100°C) does the trick.
No it does not kill germs. Acutally it can create germs. when you dont clean it out very often germs will start 2 form.

This answer appears to be partially wrong. Results of testing at the University of Florida show that microwaving can kill microbes on sponges.

No it can not.
No, antibiotics are for bacteria and swine flu is a virus. See the related question below for more information.
Yes flu is a virus
The vaccine puts dead flu cells into your body. Because the cells are very weak, you immune system can completely kill that virus. After you immune system kills the virus, antibodies are still left over in your blood stream. So, if you are exposed to the flu, the already made antibodies can kill the flu virus before it spreads and gets too serious for your immune system to overcome.
Avian Flu is caused by the virus like Flu virus in man. This virus has evolved with birds.
its a flu
antibiotics can be powerful.
No, the flu is caused by a virus.
The flu virus is pervasive in that it is a common virus which is spread from person to person generally in the cold months. There are several sub-categories of the flu virus, and the flu shot will usually contain 2 or three of these variations annually.
Flu is always caused a virus, not bacteria, so no flu epidemic will be due to a bacterial agent. This is true of the 1918 "Spanish Flu", it was caused by a virus.
The flu is caused by a viral infection, specifically influenza viruses. Bacteria do not cause the flu, but they can cause secondary infections in individuals who have the flu.
It is caused by a virus called A-H1N1/09 influenza virus (aka swine flu).
