If an mp4 file automatically plays after being downloaded, is that a bad thing?

If an mp4 file automatically plays after being downloaded, is that a bad thing? Can an mp4 file still do that and be legit? I mean automatically playing without any influence from me? This is almost purely out of curiosity, ive never encountered this before.

    Hello,

    Typically Mp4 files do not carry viruses. However, there is a possibility!

    The best thing to do is use your anti-virus to check if the file and hard-drive are virus free.

    It is a little unusual, I think you were right to be a little nervous. Maybe be cautious of this website in future.

    No i don't think its a bad thing cuz some sound uploaders that upload sounds program the files this way that they open by themselves but you should scan it anyway for extra precaution.

    try this anti-virus its the best.

    hope i helped.
