With the help of Google I found this explanation

Please note that the warning indicated COULD BE. I only can recommend a
virus protection which is updated online on a DAILY basis. There are several

which, at a time, showed to have the shortest response between the
appearance of a mal ware and the distribution of the corresponding
protection.
