I have just read this article regarding spikes in stats that are uncharacteristic of general trends.

AVG scanner blasts internet with fake traffic | The Register

Quote:
Early last month, webmasters here at The Reg noticed an unexpected spike in our site traffic. Suddenly, we had far more readers than ever before, and they were reading at a record clip. Visits actually doubled on certain landing pages, and more than a few ho-hum stories attracted an audience worthy of a Pulitzer Prize winner. Or so it seemed.

Interesting. AVG wants to look like a user click, otherwise, the sites designed to include malware can detect them and serve up a "disinfected" version of the page.

This is not going to impact the stats within *search* traffic/referrers, unless they start pretending they were sent from search engine results pages which would more likely than not get them sued by a # of parties.
