If, like me, you use your log files to get an idea of website traffic, thanks to AVG 8, the files are useless (and your bandwidth is being eaten as well).

Quote from: The Register
In late February, AVG paired its updated anti-virus engine with a real-time malware scanner that vets search engine results before you click on them. If you search Google, for instance, this LinkScanner automatically visits each address that turns up on Google's results page.

Hah- no anti-virus for me (all Linux here), but the web logs are meaningless with this, as AVG8 creates traffic that isn't really there in the files.
