Hi,

that's because NetworkManager automatically tries to activate all connections 
which are marked to be automatically connected. You can safely mark this 
connection not to be connected automatically as it's probably some bridged 
connection created automatically by Virtualbox and you can always activate it 
manually later when needed.

Cheers,
Jan
