Limited in number. Limitless in potential.
I encountered this issue also and windows defender always detected it as malware and auto uninstall the program, so I tried to check their twitter page (@ElectrumWallet)
And I saw that there's a new version which is 3.0.1 released so I recommend that you should uninstall the previous version and install the latest one.

This warning would have been more timely when I installed Electrum 3.0.0 last week.
