New "Program" File

I started up my computer this morning and found a "File Name Warning" error, I've never seen this before in all the years I've had Windows as an OS and was very confused. It states: "There is a file orfolder on yourcomputer called "C:\Program" which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renamingit to "C:\Program2" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?" and there is a check box that states "Don't perform this checkup at startup" then two buttons "rename" and "ignore." The first time I noticed it I just clicked Rename... then checked my e-mail and shut off my computer. I returned just now and restarted and the same error came up. I did a search and found a file "Program1" at 5,111kb created on 4/27/2010 2:26PM, then another one "Program" weighing in at 5,165kb, created 4/28/10 at 10:29AM. I've not clicked anything this time, fearing it may be something malicious. Has anyone ran into this before? I did a virus scan of the files and they turned up negative so I don't know what to think...
