Under Control Panel>Network Connections>Internet Gateway there is the
following entry:

Lacal Area ConnectionOn Linux IGD
Owner System

I am running Windows XP Home SP2, and I have never had anything related to
Linux on my PC. Where did it come from?

Your router (Internet Gateway) runs a version of embedded Linux. There's
nothing to worry about.
