Windows Has a Program Running That Nobody Remembers Installing

I found a program running on my Windows system that nobody in my household remembers installing, and I'm concerned it might be unwanted or potentially harmful software. Can someone help me identify what this program is and determine whether it's safe to keep or if I should remove it completely?
