It's probably reacting to the LILO when it was installed.  When anything writes
to the master boot record (LILO) and the BIOS' antivirus detection is on, it
will issue a warning.  You can safely ignore the warning.

Here are a few essential Linux pages:
http://www.slashdot.com        A general  tech news site, with a Linux bias.
http://freshmeat.net                  A site that keeps track of software
releases.  Updated daily.
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/        An archive of everything Linux.
http://www.linux.org
