Ehm, that's weird (why in the blazes would the OS need to load it twice?). Googling around gives me several results that, as always in the Windows world, depend on a variety of third-party software misbehaving somewhere or something.

I wouldn't worry too much. Try keeping watch of your processes when you first login. If you still see two instances, then try disabling all processes starting on login. Hopefully you can isolate it that way and not worry about it being some case of malware.
