The staff of Starforce is inviting anyone who can prove that that his or her malware is malware to fly to Russia on their own dime and prove it in person. Let me just say, momma didn t raise any stupid boys.

The contest, which I just noticed on the site today, ends today. According to the site, anyone who can reproduce and demonstrate that his software causes instability IN THEIR OFFICE gets $10,000 U.S.

If you read the terms of the contest you ll see the very suspicious number 2.

At your own expense you arrive to StarForce headquarter which is placed in Russia, Moscow, Altufievskoe shosse, 5/2. Please arrange your visit with us beforehand and during working hours 10 AM to 6PM Monday through Friday Moscow time.

If you manage to win, then StarForce will compensate you for your travel expenses, pay for two days lodging in a three-star hotel in Moscow and give you $1,000 cash. Wait, I think a zero dropped off their prize money in the official rules.

If you lose, they won t pay you anything, will publish your name on the site as a loser (I shit you not) and ..eeeeeeeh.. .shoot you in the back of the head.

Ironically, at the bottom of the contest page is a deal to get $10 off on some anti-spyware. Irony is delicious. Eat it everyday.

"Prove it!" and receive $10 000 from StarForce! [StarForce]
