That does sound strange!

Maybe a friend is playing a practical joke on you.I would
make some fake important looking document on the desktop
and see if it gets touched.

Also maybe your virus detection is not good enough. I
would recommend the latest updated Norton Anti Virus and
download a free program called AD-AWARE (update this too)
which should take care of most spyware etc.
