    I've noticed a very recent, unexpected spike in the number of visitors to my website.

    After reviewing logs, it seems like I there are a great deal of links from autosurfers to my site. I don't know how I became signed up for any of these programs, however so far they haven't had a bad effect on my website.

    Should I pursue removing myself from these autosurfers (and if so, how?)?

    If theres no negative impact then leave them be. Find the link that they are visiting from and ask the admin to remove the link.

    They are doing a "referrer spamming" with programs like PrStorm... My sites also get many hits...

    you will mostly get hits not unique visitors and this can make your alexa ranking UP.
    yeh but it takes your bandwidth so high and if you have enough then leave it. you have free advantage :)

    BTW your website?
