I am looking for an explanation regarding a change to the icons I see when I
use Windows Explorer in thumbnail view mode. All of my icons just recently
changed to have a small box in the bottom left, sort of like the shortcut
indication, but this is 2 blue arrows in a circular pattern. It is definitely
not a shortcut, because it is on all folders, files, etc.

I am wondering what this means and how to remove it.

I have never seen the Norton 360 icon, but it's described as a "chevron
(ยป)". From the OP's description that the 2 arrows are "in a circular
pattern" what he might be seeing is the "network files available
offline" icon. See this other page of Ramesh's website:
