How can I view a .wmv format video file if it is locked ?

Question

I just downloaded a video but it won't play, Windows Media Player says a Security Certificate is required after which it opens a popup and begins to download something forever. After the download is complete it took me to some weird looking website and wants my credit card info to charge me $24.99. Is there a way I can play that file without giving my card information. I don't have a card which has limited money, the only card I have is loaded and I am a little concerned. Can I still play the video?

Answer 1

i would delete that file as fast as i can, if i were you, because usually those have virus Trojans in them and all they want is a credit card number and then they wipe your computer and empty your credit card  

Answer 2

DELETE it using secure deletion (overwrite) software immediately ..

I bet you have a good idea of the type of material it contains and in the UK there are SEVERE PENALTIES for having 'kiddie p**n' on your PC (even if you say you have never viewed it)
