Sounds like you have Dired+ in your `load-path'. If it is thus
available then Icicles will load it, since Icicles can take
advantage of Dired+ features.
If you don't like the Dired+ highlighting, here are two solutions:
1. Move `dired+.el' out of your `load-path', to a different
directory. Or delete it entirely, if you never use it.
2. Customize Dired+. You can easily change (e.g. lower) the
highlighting (font-lock) level. And you can customize the
faces etc.

As I mentioned, there are things you can change, to change this.
By default, Icicles does a lot of things, providing additional
info as feedback, incrementally updating things, including input
mismatches, etc. You can turn all of this off, and you can
generally turn it on/off on the fly. See the doc. Start with
`C-#' (and `C-M-#', if you use `icomplete-mode'). See option
`icicle-highlight-input-completion-failure'. See
http://www.emacswiki.org/Icicles_-_Large_Candidate_Sets. Etc.
