No. Computer viruses, generally speaking, do not propagate via data files. It is therefore unlikely that your friend contracted a computer virus via an AMV.
However, on the slim chance that you
have discovered some novel virus* in the wild that can propagate via media players
and can prove that, I suggest you send the infected file to McAfee, Symantec, or some other antivirus research lab. Then maybe we can do something about it.
