    Generally no. What happens is the time that your site checks for an update and the time it auto updates happen to be out of sync this particular time and it reports an error. If you rescan this morning it will probably not show those files. If you are ever concerned, you can remove the plugin via ftp, go to http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence and download a fresh copy, and install it. The settings and everything should still be there.
