    what u want to do with favicon.ico it is just sign of your website and if we assume that google will consider it but it is just worthless in seo point of view...so just leave it....and go ahead for further issue of your site...

    So do you mean someone access mysitename/favicon.ico.

    May I know where did you keep the favicon.ico. Please keep it in the root folder of your site.

    Why would Google consider favicon? It's just a visual element that might make your site look better in a web browser.
