Yes, if you have your own .ico file you can replace href="http://www.iconarchive.com/download/i45457/creativenerds/clean-noise-social/blogger.ico" with your icon's location.

Malware warning still coming up, only now it doesn't say anything about 'YOUR-FAVICON-URL', it just says |{gzip}. And I am still getting the same malware warning when I go into Blogger dashboard.

Thank you for your help. Already reported it to Avast; hopefully they get it straightened out, soon.

Do you have any idea how long Avast typically takes to fix something like this? Starting to see some angry/confused comments in my inbox  :-[

Thank you for looking into this. Have reported it as well. Thanks, Rambling Beach Chat, too, for flagging this up. Can someone update when this has been cleared up/removed as positive? All the best.

Avast! updates (at least) twice a day.

Hi all!!

I have same problem today with my blog hosted on blogger.
http://lolipop-station.blogspot.it

Same warning re YOUR-FAVICON-URL|{gzip} comes up, and also a warning comes up when I am in the Blogger dashboard attempting to access the HTML.

I checked with Google Webmaster tools, Sucura, and Virus Total. And find nothing. Site result clear in all.
Changed my Favicon following instructions provided above.. and i got yet alarm hxxp://lolipop-station.blogspot.it/|{gzip} and those in edit html on blogger dashboard.

So I checked all PC for paranoia.
And i discovered that also old saved *xml templete files was blocked by avast cos same problems.

So i downloaded again the same template from Blogger Templates website. Unzipped on desktop... asked a new virus scan and also the new downloaded xml was infected???

So i suppose that is a problem with the new avast updates.

Wait news from you for know how eventually trasmit this problem as False Positive. What I have to tell exactly?
Sorry never did before.

Thx
