The top two programs, obviously.

I blocked them from everything also.

I would run a spyware / malware scan some good free ones are spybot search and destroy, malwarebytes, also run your anti virus. The two entries you show look pretty suspicious.

Spybot is clean, Malewarebytes is clean, Avast! is clean.

to be safe I would also run the spyware and AV programs while in safe mode, just to be sure.

Also you can delete the entries from your firewall and see if they try to access the firewall again, you should get a pop up of some sort asking about a program wanting access through the firewall. this may help determine if it is legitimate.
