I strongly suspect that is something done by the anti-virus application
on the Windows 7 machine, not by Windows 7 itself. Check the settings
for that application.

No, it _is_ part of the OS, and isn't to do with viruses - it thinks
files might have been damaged, not infected. I occasionally see the same
with USB memory sticks, especially if they've been moved between
machines running different versions of Windows.

I've _usually_ just said continue without scanning as I'm in a hurry;
occasionally I've let it do the "fix" (as once a machine is giving it,
it'll continue to do so). I don't _think_ I've ever experienced any
problems with corruption either from not doing it or from doing it.
