Asked By Jimmy L Merrick 60 points N/A Posted on - 02/14/2014

Hello,

I am getting this weird error message when I try to play a video file. I am little bit scared whether this error might infect my system. The error message gives me three options but only one is enabled. Can I continue with this option? Do I need to upgrade mu antivirus? Someone could help me to solve this error. Thanks for your help.
