sometimes mine does that as a matter of course.
run adaware and fix all run spybot and fix all and run hijack this and post your log on here (make sure all these progs are fully updated.) with your hijack this log RealBlackStuff will help he was a great help to me (its good to know that people will help noobs)

when you are done if your icons are not back check to make sure the show icon boxes are ticked, check task manager for your norton to make sure it is actually running and log off and then back on again (presumably you run xp)
logging off and then logging on again sorts mine out. it only happens when explorer overloads and restarts itself with me
