Have you recently connected a video camera, web cam, digital camera or other device to your pc?
Disable it & only allow it to connect when you want it to. Or remove the device entirely from add/remove programs.

It is probably a connection to use to connect your computer to your television. Are you running xp media center? I am not that familiar with what your are referring to, so I am not totally certain. But that's my guess. Try http://www.microsoft.com see if you can get some answers there
Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

you can delete the icon if you wish, but it involves editing the registry.
start - > run-> regedit
Edit->find... type in 'local area connection 2'
delete the key, or you can rename it, or rename other keys
