it could ... but have you tried restarting?

also it may have automatically removed the ones that don't get used much, mine occassionally asks if I want to do that.

No, they can disappear for a number of reasons. I highly doubt it is the direct result of a virus. It could be related to spyware/adware or even registry problems.

that could very well be possible. though most viruses don't do that, it's possible. use an anti-virus program, and see if that stops it. also if you've been uninstalling programs, the icon will go away.
