So up until yesterday everything was working fine, but when I powered up my Macbook Pro today I noticed there was an extra icon in my dock that I didn't recognize. When I put my curser over it, it said "Finder". The icon doesn't look like the original Finder icon at all, but it's acting as if it is the Finder. I still have the original Finder icon in my dock, but it's as if it is idle and the new icon has taken over the Finder. Here's a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about:

When I right click on the new icon and click quit, it goes away, but then I click the original Finder icon and it opens as the new one again. I've also tried dragging it out of my dock, but the same thing happens.

If anyone knows how I can fix this and get my Finder to open like normal again, please help me out. Thanks.
