Please see attached. I just restarted after installing a brother printer/fax/copier...Is this a virus or something bad?

Its not anything malicious, just hit the fix button and see what it does. May also want to repair permissions as well.

If you trust the source of the software you just installed, go ahead and click fix. It is common certain parts of printer/fax/copier software to be installed to run at startup, so it seem legitimate to me, as long as you are installing software that came with some hardware.
