Looks like he got the message and is going to retire things a bit more gracefully. He let me know that he's going to hand it off to someone respected to help. Great news there.
I suppose that first thing I saw could have possibly not been malware? It sure looked malware-like, though. Pushy auto-download attempt, big full-screen insistence that I install it. Multiple redirects and landing domain serving this was not recognized. (I suppose it could have been some sort of CDN domain but I work with them enough that I figured I would recognize that.) I don't assume that the registrar's parking page would try to intentionally infect people, but perhaps it had an ad from an ad network that bad guys snuck in to. Or perhaps it was a legit Flash installer and their methodology and communication of that was just garbage.
