Sorry but this is a little difficult to follow but are you saying you got the original agent from YouTube?

may be it was a look alike website or clone of youtube, youtube itself cant host malicious files on their servers  ??? i know that they're not totally secure and have been under cross site scripting attacks in the past, but it can't be compromised to such an extent !
