In my experience, I have seen products such as Norton, Webroot, AVG, and Security Essentials detect items on the recovery partition or other pre-loaded applications as a virus and or malware.

It appears that in your case, Security Essentials specifically picked up Wild Tangent from the HP factory image (.wim = Windows Imaging Format) as an infection. While Wild Tangent (a gaming platform) is not a virus, many products consider it spywayre.

In this case, you should be fine, but it's always important to keep an eye on these things.
