I have run antivirus and spyware programs after which i noticed the icon was gone. Perhaps it was infected and therefor deleted.....

I assume you read the other cause of the problem:

A network client such as Client for Microsoft Networks or Client for NetWare Networks is not installed on your computer.

If you have it installed, have you tried removing it, rebooting and reinstalling it?
