Found "kopпopaция Maйкpocoфт" Don't know what it is

I was going through my Control Panel and found this funky looking name. I'm not sure if this is malware or just an alternate name for "Microsoft Corporation" considering that the program associated with it is "Microsoft Visual C++". March 15 was a pretty long time ago so I don't remember downloading anything dangerous that day. Perhaps I did, not sure though. I'm hoping that someone out there can enlighten me as to whether or not this is a fake Microsoft program. 

Thanks!

    It's just "Microsoft Corporation" in Russian. For whatever reason, you got the Russian version. The second thing is an uninstall menu, in Russian. I'd leave it alone-it's legit.

    One of those buttons would mean Uninstall, and one would mean repair, I presume, with a choice to cancel. Take your choice or follow the advice of Ionnakis and leave it be.
