Computer Question

[sthief09]

so I get home from work and my desktop (not the computer itself. the background with all the icons and stuff) is blank. also, when I tried to click and drag on a blank spot, instead of making that dotted line box, it gave me that O with a \ through it. I restarted twice and same thing. when I try to drag an icon onto the desktop it seems to let me but nothing appears. it's like there's a net over it.

anyone know the cause of this, or a fix for it? is it a virus?
