DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION XVID yes it does give you viruses. After a set amount of time in your computer the virus will start messing with windows explorer. If it keeps crashing and restarting UNINSTALL XVID. The best thing to do is get firefox, download grease monkey application, Download Divx player(do not update), and go to ICELINKZ.info. It is a free great movie site. LUV IT.
