No. You cannot get a virus from YouTube. You are not downloading anything, your just previewing shockwave. You can only get a virus from downloading or spyware.

your brother lied to you!!! instead, he went into a 'naughty' website. get grifsoft AVG free to check for viruses. get ccleaner to remove junks from your pc and hope your comp will get faster
yes u can get a virus PRETENDING to look like a youtube video clip. i'm assuming your brother clicked on it and went to a site with the virus.

in other words, it was a youtube picture not a video that he was clicking on.
yes you can get a virus from any website....and its possible its not a virus but a trojan horse/spyware...thats why its crtical to have a firewall and virus program at all times and keep the definition files updated.
yes, if you downloaded the video it could have given you a virus. By the way, you should NEVER go on the internet without and antivirus program running. Buy one at Target or try to download on.
you may need to go in and do a disk clean up or do a defrag on your puter to get ride of all the junk on it and also maybe delete your Internet cookies also they can take up a lot of room on your puter... i hope this helps some you always what to do the 3 things like once a mth.
