To kill virus on hand which soap better? antibacterial or normal handsoap? is antibacterial better since it specialized to get rid germs better? im confused since i read on internet, any kind of soap doesnt matter.

Any soap: any soap should be effective against most viruses. antibacterial soap may advertise against bacterial but has no claim to be better against viruses.
