I get this notice from my malware bytes every time when open the software.
Is it the server I connect to? I actually have no Idea because I just downloaded the last version from electrum.org installed and right after click on the file I got this notice so I am not so sure if it's the server that I connect to, or the file itself being infected?

I am not sure about this

Have you downloaded the wallet from https://electrum.org/#download site?

There are few things you need to ensure:
1. Check if you have downloaded the wallet from the official site: https://electrum.org/#download
2. Select the right OS for you. In my case windows installer http://prntscr.com/mp1v12
3. Check the signature (This is very important before installing the application).

Most of the time people avoid number three but this is really important. If you do not how to do it then use this tutorial: https://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-verify-an-electrum-download-on-windows/

I found this was very helpful for me.
