Dvd.screener is not a file extension. It is as bartrob says a definition movie pirates use to indicate the movie isn't from a true retail DVD source.

In most cases, movies like this are playable. They may display some copyright warning screen at the beginning, or they may display a watermark throughout a movie.
Often Windows Media Player won't play movie like this one, because of copyright issues. That's why, you're getting this:

the file is suspicious, and should be left alone.i am wondering why this message appear in my player. but now i really understand it. thank you so much for your help guys. i really appreciated it. it helps me a lot.

Oh, I would say you need to check your computer for viruses and adware after such files! Most probably the file had .exe extension that you didn't see, because extensions are hidden on your system.
