AVG Floods the Internet

No idea what the why of it is, but AVG antivirus is faking Internet Explorer User Agents and is flooding the internet with it.

Ah, El Reg reports that it’s because AVG 8 vets websites / search engine results before you click on them, making nuts traffic over all our pipes!

Apparently some people are rerouting the traffic to the AVG site, which has gone down.
