      "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.0" 404 "GET /Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js HTTP/1.0" 404 I checked the server log and found the 2 files ( favicon.ico and AC_RunActiveContent.js) always return 404 error code, I do not have 2 fileson the server, how can I fix the problem.

        It's pretty easy to create a favicon.ico file. Favicons can be many sizes from 16x16 to 64x64 and, since you just want to get rid of your 404 results, I suggest going with 16x16 to start. This website is great for creating one without much work. Otherwise, you can use any image editor to create a small image and then rename it to "favicon.ico". Whichever method you use, I suggest creating a favicon that looks like your logo much like SEOmoz has done with theirs. Once you've created your favicon, upload it to your server.

        Edit: I should also note you can remove the reference to the favicon.ico file altogether. To do this you would remove the following HTML from your webpages that are producing your 404 errors:

        <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">shortcut icon</a>" href="favicon.ico" />

        Your second 404 looks to be from a missing script that is often used to present Flash content. This file is also generated when you use Dreamweaver to create a webpage that includes Flash. You can either remove the call to that script from the HTML or look for a copy of the file online and upload it to your server.
