I just noticed this app in my ubuntu applications called Icon Browser.
I want to know if it's legit part of Ubuntu or could it be malware using it to disguise itself of other code.
In other words if it is a part of normal ubuntu package and if not how I can remove it.
Additional Info
Here's the output of searching for the app in apt
$ apt list icon* --installed
Listing... Done

There is an "Icon Browser" GUI utility (gtk3-icon-browser) comes from the gtk-3-examples package. If you have the same thing, then it should be fine.
To check it, first run the following command to find out whether gtk-3-examples is installed:
apt policy gtk-3-examples
If it's installed, run
gtk3-icon-browser
to launch the application. Associated .desktop launcher, viz. gtk3-icon-browser.desktop should be found in the /usr/share/applications/ directory.
