Question LibClamAV Warning: Incorrect magic number in optional header


Hey guys and gals,
I have found this warning when I run clamav:
LibClamAV Warning: Incorrect magic number in optional header
And I can not find out what it means. I've googled for it, and found only a few places. Those were above my understanding. Can anyone tell me if this is a major problem, or is it one of those, "will still work correctly" warnings.

Even better would be how to fix it.

Thanks in advance!

My best guess (nothing definitive) is that it's referring to the file systems magic signature. What is the filesytem that's causing problems, or is it on a specific file/group of files?
