>1) Can an .avi file be harmful?
NO this is a video (audio-video interleaved) format. Movie, graphic, or
sound files are always safe. Only executable file types can be harmful
(exe, com, bat, vbs (Visual Basic) scripts, Javascripting, etc.)
>2) Has anyone heard of 'Blindd1' as being harmful?
NO. It's a PG-13 rated video clip about a blind date.

Install an appropriate viewer in your browser as a plug-in or directly on
the desktop. Windows media player will work.

For many more, go to download.com and type in "avi viewer"
