Hi Joolie
No it probably isn't a virus. If you want to scan the drive for viruses though....just open your anti virus software and select the scan option....make sure you external drive is selected and then it will scan it for viruses. The sticking when you play a movie can be any number of minor problems. What RAM and CPU speed are you runing on?
