To clear and reset icon cache:
Right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Advanced. Now using
the item drop down box, choose Icon. Change the pixel number by one. OK all the
way out.

or download Tweak UI
Make sure you download the correct one for your system.

Please your problem is fixed, perhaps you should also learn about the other
nasties around like spyware, malware, etc that can cause problems such as
unexplainable behaviour.
