"Whole computer scan - 1 potentially dangerous threat detected"

I've seen this message twice now from AVGFree '13, the first time being about a week ago. It tells me that "The file is signed with a broken digital signature," resulting in an "infected" file or directory. Can anyone tell me what this means, and if it's a matter of importance? For the record, I'm also running a full system scan with MalwareBytes at the same moment, and so far it's picked up nothing. AVG scan was 30minutes, MalwareBytes is at 34 minutes and counting.
