My firewall keeps asking if it icarus.exe can connect to the Internet. hen I check the details it says it is an AVG program if it is I would like to know what it is, why it wants to continually connect to the internet and if it is actually some form of spyware?

Hello Pete. Thank you for taking the time to write, and I apologize for the delayed response.

My name is Shawn, and I am writing on behalf of the AVG Senior Support team.

Specific to your concern, simply answered, icarus.exe is indeed our product, and is associated to your installed AVG product(s). When said AVG product is launched, icarus.exe checks for any available update of the product launched.

I trust this explanation helps clarify your concern. Thanks, Shawn
