If the warnings relate to file properties, then as unSpawn has said you
need to check the programs against a trusted source. However, as a first
check, and since you are running ubuntu, you could perhaps try something
like:

   rkhunter --enable properties --rwo --pkgmgr dpkg

I'll leave it to you to check with the man page to work out what this is
actually doing :-)
