   I am so sorry I was unsure where to post this but. Lately my computer has been acting funny, my antivirus is currently out of date. I was just wondering if someone sends me a video on MSN Messenger, if I accept it will that infect my computer? Or do I actually have to save it to my computer? Really sorry because im pretty certain I am out of place, really not sure though. Thanks in advance!

   I am not sure what you are asking at this point. Do you want us to check your system for malware? If so, please follow the instructions here:

   As to accepting a video, you should always scan any downloads with your AV software before putting it on you system. If your AV software is out of date and not fully functioning, you need to either uninstall it and install an up to date program or not download anything until you are protected.
