Hi mesa101

Doesn't sound very much like malware to me. Two connection icons could simply mean that you have two connections, either through ethernet cables or firewire aside from the usual LAN cable. Look through these websites which talk about similar problems like yours:

Your HijackThis log shows nothing to indicate such a problem...

Best Regards :D
