Can a video contain a malware (virus, trojan, spyware etc.)?..?

.

Is it possible for a video (extension: .avi, .mpg, .mov, etc.) that I download from the web to contain a malicious software (virus, Trojan, spyware, etc.)?..

If so, does that mean that when an "infected" video is play-backed in my computer, another program (malware) runs on the background?.. In such a situation, can my AntiVirus software detect the threat?..

Also, when I watch a video on the web (e.g. YouTube), could there be a virus running on the background. Could it be detected by an AntiVirus software?..

(Is there a website where I can find related topics/articles, so that I would learn more about it?..)

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Follow these steps to a completely secure computer. Download and install all of these free programs. It鈥檚 allright to have more than one anti-spyware, but not anti-virus so make sure you have removed and uninstalled every bit of your old antivirus and firewall as these can cause unwanted conflicts.
