Hello Gary,
We will help you with that.
Icarus.exe is actually related to the recent AVG TuneUp 20.1 version.
It is legitimate file and you shouldn't experience any issues due to it.
Are you getting that pop up?

Hi PGJ,
We understand your concern.
As mentioned before, Icarus.exe is a legitimate file from AVG which happen to appear after the recent update. It is not a malware and it is safe.
When AVG product(s) are launched, icarus.exe checks for any available update of the product launched, is it's intended behavior.
I trust this explanation helps clarify your concern. Thank you.
