It is the VPN icon.

Only if you do not want to use a VPN, disable it in the Antivirus settings. I have a VPN removed by antivirus installation. And you can disable it by going to Settings, then go to - the component to omit down and see SecureLine VPN, click on the blue icon included. And then you need to reboot the system. Also, you can remove it.
