virus question?
i.e.: i download in my pc or hdd portable a video file( infected with a virus),the question is: i'm already infected? or i'm infected only when i click and run the video?
Usually you get infected when you run something. But if the website you downloaded from is infected itself, you can already have been infected too.
How do you know it's an infected file? Do you have virus protection software that popped up a warning and quarantined the file? If that is the case that you shouldn't be infected yet. Most viruses that travel in video or picture files would need the file to be viewed on the computer to activate the virus.

Only way to tell is to run anti-virus or anti-malware application on the phone. I like Kaspersky personally. Great protection and a small footprint on the device.
