I just recently had a problem with my wireless home network crashing, I think someone had hacked it. I reinstalled windows on 2 pcs, reset my router, and redid all the wireless stuff(WPA, MAC filter, disable ssid broadcast, etc.) After doing all the win updates on both, I am now having a strange problem using firefox.

I have Zonealarm security suite installed on both pcs and on auto learn. Now, whenever I run firefox, the icon in zonealarm shows a little hand under it(like a shared folder) and I am seeing internet traffic even when I'm not doing anything. I have never seen the little hand under firefox before and when I hover over the icon, it says Firefox listening on ports 1247, 1249. I am using IE7 to send this as the problem doesn't seem to occur in IE.

I have run a av/spy scan with za and all it found was
Not a virus - Risk tool - Killwind, which was deleted. Also, I saw a listing for hijackthis in add/remove, which I don't believe I have seen before. I hit remove and got an error asking if I wanted to remove it from the list. I clicked yes.
I would appreciate any help anyone could give me, Thanks!

Hijackthis follows:
