[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1740587, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the for ums. I can see you are paranoid about this virus thing coming from Windows. Yes viruses can infect .mp4 files if you downloaded or used them on a PC without AV software protection. However they cannot execute on a Mac, as no virus can operate on OS X thanks to its Unix basis background. For adware etcdownload Malwarebyts for Mac, see link, and run that in scan mode from time to time. NI trust you are notn using so called Mac Antivirus software? They are a real resource hog and can slow down your Mac whilst they look for Windows viruses which cannot execute. New virus definitions are again Windows virus definitions which etc etc. [url]https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/[/url] And have a read of nthis:- [url]http://superuser.com/questions/445366/can-avi-files-contain-a-virus[/url] [/QUOTE]
