I've received some concerned requests about this, so to clarify for anyone else reading:

There's no need to worry. Servers can specify a thumbnail image URL for the in-game server browser to display. In this case likely a player in China hosting a server used a Chinese image hosting website for their image URL, and this player's anti-virus classified that Chinese domain as a threat. It's the same as if you used an English website like imgur to host your own server's thumbnail and a Chinese anti-virus classified it as malware.
