I seem to have this executable file running in task manager. Does anyone know what it is? I googled it but couldn't establish if it's malicious or not...

I saw this already but it doesn't look very conclusive. It's also quite old. What worries me is that it originates in France/Czech but doesn't say where it comes from or what it's for!

Most search results relate it to Icon 225 which is a type of USB wireless dongle that's popular with Orange laptops (seems to be the default dongle they give out), especially through France Telecom.

So unless you're currently using a laptop that you got through buying an Orange contract, get rid of it to be on the safe side. If it is software for a wireless dongle you can easily download it again.

Failing that, keep an eye on the link that Dr S posted - it'll tell you exactly what it is at some point in the future.
