icon.exe (icon.exe)This program has not been seen on any systems tested at PC Pitstop in the past week. PC Pitstop AnalysisIcon.exe is most likely a variant of the RapidBlaster parasite. Recent variants of RapidBlaster "morph" themselves to evade detection. RapidBlaster will download data from its controlling server that contains a new folder and filename. It copies itself to that folder, terminates the original process, deletes the original file, and then runs under a new file name with a new location. If you find this file on your system we recommended that you confirm that it is indeed RapidBlaster, and not a legitimate file, before deleting. Recommendation
