well .. I get a couple hundred 404s a day and there is nothing wrong.
Every MS Internet Exploder tries to grab the file favicon.ico and if it does not exists, a 404 shows up in log.

The Evil-doers when they scan a server for vulnerabilities scan for pretty much everything known to man regardless of what server software you are running, what is not on your server will leave a 404 in the error log.
