it's probably not a problem. the problem with virus scanners is that they don't look for viruses, they look for "signatures" which are basically check sums and such (or they'd have to contain the viruses for comparison, which many would consider bad...), it's likely in a large enough system or collection of files, given the growing number of viruses to find a file with a similar signature which is not a virus. if in doubt reinstall the apple software and scan it to see if you still get the warning. if you do this is probably what has happened, if not the file probably had been modified to include a virus. if it were a file from any one other than apple i'd definitely notify them in the meantime, and it wouldn't be bad to notify apple and the company/person who wrote the virus scanning program.
