Good afternoon Vincenzo, It looks as though ClamAV is parsing an image file containing a master boot record in the partition table that is non-protective: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Protective_MBR_.28LBA_0.29
The warning isn’t necessarily something you need to fix. It’s just letting you know that the partition table in the image file is a little odd. Perhaps an older style of MBR. We should probably change the print statement so it is a debug level log message instead of a warning, because there likely isn’t anything “wrong” with the file being scanned. For now, I’d just say don’t worry about it. -Micah Micah Snyder Software Engineer Talos Cisco Systems, Inc.
