Firefox thinks sparc.org is an "attack site":

So does Google (http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://ww...)

"Of the 244 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-10-22, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-10-22.

Malicious software includes 12 trojan(s), 8 exploit(s), 6 scripting exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 2 new process(es) on the target machine."

I found this as well. I think that he meant to link to sparc.com but instead linked to spark.org which is a known attack site.

By the way sparc.com appears to be done right now. Its probably DDOSed by all the people complaining.

No, sparc.org is the right domain, most likely someone thought it funny to report sparc.org (although google's malware interception page states that it's been reported several times over the last couple of months, so maybe Sparc Intl. really are hosting malware?)
