when downloading movies, series and anime they mostly come in those formats. Can they contain virus? if yes, do they get detected with antivirus?

      Sure, but the difference is that VLC can’t execute code, and if you change the file extension to MP4 then a media player is going to try to open it.

      So yeah it could contain a virus, but I think getting hit with that code is almost completely impossible.
