Virus? I can't tell

I just opened my C folder to check something out and low and behold there is a new folder in there. Here is a screen:

In it is a single text file. When I open it, it has a log of all the shit it's been doing. I really don't understand any of it. Here is a screen of that:

Is this a Virus? I very worried and I think so.

    The second image is a bit too small for me to read, can you cut and paste the very start (5 - 10 lines) and the very end (same amount of lines) into a post? It could be nothing. Sometimes Windows updates make these kind of temp folders and for whatever reason they don't get removed.

    Um, well I googled the name of the text file. And ran a virus check. It seems to be an update for windows. But god it does look like a virus.

    I made this post before I found out what to google. So I guess just lock this.
