AVG & favicons

[keyplyr]

AVG, the anti-virus blokes in the UK, seem keen on grabbing my favicons twice daily for the last several months:

108.161.241.26 - - [04/Jun/2015:00:18:02 -0700] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 727 "-" "-"
108.161.241.27 - - [04/Jun/2015:00:18:02 -0700] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 727 "-" "-"

No other pages are scanned (or whatever they do) so this is a mystery. But I for one am relieved they are out there on the WWW keeping favicons free from viruses.

IP: 108.161.241.26
ISP: Edgecast Networks
Organization: Edgecast Networks
Services: None detected
Type: Corporate
Assignment: Static IP
State/Region: California

Is this a discrepancy?
