I concur with "Arnak"; if you don't know what it is, do not allow access.
If you didn't intentionally seek and install that item: consider it malicious, and do everything you can to eradicate it. (MalwareBytes works pretty good.)
Look in the ADD/REMOVE programs, which is in the Control Panel.
It may also be in the "Start up" folder.

Hi,
Wikifind is a simple program written in C++, used for analysing database-dumps from a MediaWiki-site such as Wikipedia. The program looks for a user specified keyword and returns a text file with wiki-formatted links to each page containing the specified keyword (Regexes can be used). Thus the program can be used for looking for templates, bits of code, misspelled words and such, perhaps in order to get a list to use with a bot.
If you don't know what it is then I would assume that you would not want to open it.8-))
