what is the safest and "virus free" way to import you tube video in final cut express? Is there a way to save "you tube video" as a local file and reuse it in final cut express?

Since you're using Final Cut, I'm assuming that you're on a Mac.
You can save YouTube videos using YouTube Downloader+ (here's the PC Version). YouTube Downloader saves the videos as FLV (which cannot be imported into Final Cut) so you will need to convert them to QuickTime format using a program such as Perian.
If Perian doesn't work out, you can find more options for converting FLV here.

Thanks for the response. Have you used these programs? Are they virus free? – dotnet-practitioner Sep 29 '10 at 21:50

I've only used YouTube Downloader, so I can verify that it is virus free. I haven't used Perian, but the site that it's hosted on looks legitimate. – Ryan Berger Sep 30 '10 at 14:49
