There are two ways:

One way disables it (in case you want to enable it in the future), and another completely removes it...

To disable it, alter your plugin, and find:

PHP Code:

  if (is_array($icon)) {
      $show['icon'] = true;
      $thread['threadiconpath'] = $icon['iconpath'];
      $thread['threadicontitle'] = $icon['title'];
  } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

  if (is_array($icon)) {
      $show['icon'] = false;
      $thread['threadiconpath'] = $icon['iconpath'];
      $thread['threadicontitle'] = $icon['title'];
  } 


To remove it completely;
In the forumhome_latestthreadbit template, remove:

	<if condition="$show['icon'] && !$show['firstnew']">
		<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$thread[threadiconpath]" border="0" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" title="$thread[threadicontitle]" style="vertical-align: text-middle" /> 
	</if>

Now edit the Plugin:
Remove:

PHP Code:

    // thread icon
    $show['icon'] = false;
  $icon = fetch_iconinfo($thread['iconid']);

  if (is_array($icon)) {
      $show['icon'] = true;
      $thread['threadiconpath'] = $icon['iconpath'];
      $thread['threadicontitle'] = $icon['title'];
  }
