After doing quite a bit of research on some of the virus warnings that
are coming up on some visitors computers. It appears as though some
of our visitors computers are infected with the Conflicker Worm.
This problem can be easily corrected with some decent antivirus and/or
antispyware software.

The key info to note is that OldGoldFreePress.com is now, and has always
been, hosted on a UNIX/Linux type server. It's a basic fact of life that
most viruses target Windows computers/servers because there are so many
connected to the internet. There are many more Windows servers/computers
connected to the internet than there are UNIX/Linux servers/computers.

How to stop Conflicker: Switch to Linux

The main reason that I have been slow to offer suggestions on this is simple.
I don't have access to everyones computers, so I can't diagnose the specific
problems, and offer suggestions specific to each individial computer.
