That would seem to imply that it saw multiple MAC addresses with the same
IP address. That *might* happen if your laptop was plugged into a wire for
part of the time, and connected by wifi for part of the time. Each of the
laptop's interfaces will have its own MAC address, although DHCP should
therefore give them distinct IP addresses as well.
It *sounds* like a false positive and the proprietary "malware" software is
just being dumb, but that's a completely wild guess and based on nothing.
The laptop usually runs over Wi-Fi, but today I had it plugged in a
couple of times. I also had it connected via Wi-Fi to my cell phone
while away from the house, and then via Wi-Fi to another modem while
testing that the other modem was working. So, it makes sense that it
would show up when I had it back home and plugged it in to CAT-5 while
in my office, neglecting to remember that I usually only use it via Wi-Fi.
Thanks. I think I can call this one "fixed".
