Not really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as "movie.mkv" but will actually run a program.
That being said, I've never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.
I've seen many a ROM be SuperMarioBros3.exe just straight up, but never .nes.exe so idk if that counts.
