I have had this happen to me once in a while if windows shuts down abnormally. Malware could certainly be at the root of it, as you suggest.

I'd run Ad-Aware, Spybot, and the virus scanner of your choice. If those come back clean, it's probably a windows configuration problem.

Google: XP quicklaunch disappears

you'll get lots of hits.
