Flavicon Hack

[AndFarr]

My website has been hacked with the only evidence being that of an installed Flavicon.
It is the official flavicon for Starbucks coffee.
I've looked on my host server but can't find a flavicon file anywhere.
Any ideas on how this came to pass and how I can get rid of it?

Favicon is the correct name and the file would be favicon.ico

Have you reported this to your web hosting company?

'Favicon'..

Andy this happens from time to time with Chrome, it's favicon cache file get's screwed up.
What you can try is go to
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Us er Data\Default
And delete the Favicons file (or rename it Favicons.old).
Re open Chrome and re visit the sites to refresh the favicons and chrome will create a new cache file..

Andy,

Not only do Starbucks only pay just £8.6m in UK tax on £3bn of UK sales they highjack your favicon. Sue them!
