Re: 404s listed on my web stats?
Are you using frontpage extensions by any chance?

If you dont have use frontpage on your site, and do not have the extensions installed, you should not need to worry about these.

Re: 404s listed on my web stats?
In my logs, I keep on getting loads of 404s for a "favicon.ico" file.
What is it, and is there any use for it?

The favicon.ico file is used to store a little image in the bookmarks/favourites of the person viewing your site (assuming of course that they save it as a favourite).
Most browsers look for it automatically, if it doesn't exist the user will be none the wiser but your server will record a 404 error as it hasn't been able to find the file it was asked for.

Thanks, the pages were built using front page but are plain ol HTML, with not FP extensions. Thought it was an exploit attempt, it is a commercial site i'm seeing this on.
