After installing the WP-stats plug-in a smiling face or “smiley” suddenly appears in the footer, but with this code that I found on the WordPress forum you can remove it without loosing the functionality of wp_footer.

Note: I am no longer checking the validity of this post. Please leave a comment if you discover it contains any mistakes and/or broken links. TIA, – Patrick.

Add the following code into footer.php of your theme just after the wp_footer call:

var e = document.getElementById("wpstats");
e.style.width = "0px";
e.style.height= "0px";
e.style.overflow = "hidden";
