It's probably neither, but we can't tell unless we see the screen shots, and and at this point I can't see them. Try re-posting screen shots using the camera button.

mDNSResponder is an essential process; it's part of the operating system and its presence is perfectly normal.

I don't think you need to worry. There's no evidence of malware or of having been hacked.
