I can't see the name of the program. But it is probably something that isn't suppose to be running. Delete the program if you can, if you cant you can run your comp in safe-mode to remove it. Also remove it from starting up in the registry.

An incorrect identification of W32/Generic.worm!p2p was been discovered on the Secure IE and Perfect Companion applications. These identifications were corrected in the 4318 DAT files.

This is a generic detection of worms that can propagate through P2P file-sharing software (Kazaa, Gnutella, eDonkey, Bearshare, Shareaza, Gnucleus, Limewire, Morpheus, Grokster, etc.).

However, I would be worried about it and try to remove it as 50% Packetloss suggested unless you know the program.

Go through your entire computer and if you don't know the exact purpose of a file, delete it.
