Security issue about favicon.ico

Hi. There's some favicon.ico files (those icons used by trackers) that are infected. I'd like to ask you gently -but urgently- to find a way to protect users from that kind of vulnerability. My suggestion is to make optional the display of images referred to favicon.icon files.

Thank you in advance.
