I sent the file to Kaspersky and they said that no malware was found in the file.
Was this file on your PC or did someone send you it and ask you to run it?

It poped up when i was browsing at internet.
First thing which came to my mind was that it's again one of those nasty zlob variants.

There is an ad on Yahoo! for a video aggregator. If you click on one of the video thumbnails, a pop-up window will ask you if you want to run video.exe in order to view the selected video. Almost always, it is prudent to decline until you have researched the file video.exe. That's how I got to Castlecops and this thread.
The file, video.exe does not appear to be harmful in a generic sense. However, I would caution against uncritical downloading of any .exe file unles the source is known to the user.
