Given the battering AVG have recieved and the battering a lot of web servers have received, my own included, AVG are finally pushing out a new update to all of its users to disable the Link scanner feature. It will take a few days before all users get the update so we should see a decline in traffic over the next few days.

Incidentially, action finally seems to have been taking by AVG after a large community forum in Australia were getting particularly badly hit with traffic and posted a banner on top of every page served urging people to change to anothe AV product.

Their discussion begins here and an AVG manager posted to the forum here.
