Are you (knowingly) using the Avast Icarus beta Update installer function ?

I think this is still a beta version of the avast updater function, as this is the only place I have seen this.

Also please be informed that we would appreciate if you would be so kind and try our Antivirus product based on so called "icarus" setup (installation and update engine) already used for other Avast products but now available also for AV. More information is here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=264883.0. Please note that in order to get it, you need to uninstall the current one (automatic migration is not supported at the moment).

I don’t have icarus.exe in the location you gave, however I’m still on Avast Free 22.2.6003 (build 22.2.7013.717) not 22.3.xxxx.

I believe he is using Avast Cleanup Premium as the path says (avast-tu: Avast Tune-Up).

Why it’s crashing is beyond for me, I suggest Repair of Avast Cleanup (if repair function exists) and reboot the machine.

Thanks for that, I wasn’t aware of that path.
