  No, this file is not a virus. This is a challenge by F-Secure, to win ticket to go to the T2 Information Security Conference. Looks like this conference isn't famous, not many people knows about it.

  Yes, if you can crack the software. It's worth about 1400 Euros.
  
  But not many people successfully cracked it. Last I heard, 50,000 people tried, less than 30 people passed.
