To ensure it isn't hiding a virus or malware

Today I was hired by a client by a direct offer. He shared some images as a source of the video.

But when I click on the first image it is showing something about a virus or malware and the image was not previewable.

Capture.PNG

It was okay when I click on the other images below of the first image. I clicked those other images and downloaded those but the first one is still threatening security. I didn't download the first image but I downloaded the other images. And the most important thing is my software finds some "Risk hack" malware instantly after downloading the other images which were described as a high risk.

 

Is there any possibility/chance people can hack my PC or anything by throwing images/files in the message after clicking those or downloading those? And very unfortunately, my antivirus software has expired at this moment!
