Folks, we need your help.

The Van Velsenmeer Foundation is about to release their worm LWare this night. This will destroy the internet as we know it. Our only chance is to make the Wormblocker run on our computers so that we can counter attack.

Download it here (this is the site from our guides, the "Sandmen"), enter die 5 following strings and the key. Then just let it run. Deadline is in about 4 hours (00:00 in Germany).

When everything is green you are correct. Hope we will get enough people to run this program (it's some java thing) till midnight!

Thanks in advance, Trustiva

If I didn't know better, I'd say this was a revolutionary new method for malware distribution.
Hell, the client even says [Ma]LWare.

Or am I missing the point and that was the theme of the game?

Exactly this was the theme. But you've pointed something about the name I haven't noticed before Smile

The theme was a fight against a company, who produced AI-worm a la Frankenstein. It was really cool cyberpunkish concept and good execution of this concept. Alas, the game is over...

Yes, people, the game is over. It was high quality ARG. And now it's confirmed, who was the organizator of this game:

Microsoft Germany.

Well, I'd say, it was till now the best production of Microsoft. I'm MS fan now.

Exactly. It doesn't dissuade from working Smile
I've shown this clip to my friends who didn't know anything about viral marketing - and they understood immediately what's going on.
