Could be tons of things:
A false positive: your antivirus (you should’ve said what it is by the way) might be detecting coding that is consistent with a virus in the database.
User error: That file my have a dormant virus you were not aware of, or someone may have attached a virus to it without your knowledge. More likely is the dormant virus theory, because a quick scan from an antivirus will not detect some malware, it is okay because said malware is not a threat. However, upon closer inspection your antivirus may recommend removal.
Fake antivirus: It this antivirus is showing up in your internet browser window, and is not a program installed on your computer, it is most likely a fake. It may request that you enter your financial info in return for a clean up. Obviously you should not disclose any information.
False site: try downloading a safe file from a site that uses SSL protection. You know these sites because they do not use http, they use https (for example, google encrypted is: https://encrypted.google.com, while normal google is: http://www.google.com)

It means you have a virus on your computer that is giving the bogus message to you. You need to get rid of it. Buy a good antivirus like kaspersky.

Some files work in a way that gets marked as suspicious by most anti-virus.
Any keygen, or crack, or badly written program may set it off. If you are sure they are clean, you should be able to always allow them.
If you can’t then you have a **** anti-virus.
