Hey guys! i just found out about this awesome game, have been playing arma 2 for a week or so (free version) and have been strongly considering buying it. The only thing holding me back is many people i hear are having problems with getting "globally banned for no reasons"? This worried me and I wouldn't want to be throwing my money away to play this game and have the same problem happen to me. I am not going to be modding or doing anything like that, just enjoying the game how it should be played. If I am to buy this, what would decrease my chances of this "ban for no reason" happening to me. Thanks! :)

I downloaded the free copy from steam. This is where the youtube link directed me. I was unaware at the time that you needed to purchase the combined operations, or operations arrow in order to use dayz. I downloaded a dayz zipped file, which i deleted off my computer after realizing i couldnt use it. I am just hoping the zipped files which I deleted didn't have anything. There isn't a way to make sure I already don't have something that will take my key? or am I just being paranoid? :X

After reading a bit more on this, I cant remember exactly where I got my arma download from. (youtube link) I am just trying to make sure it is legit, should I restore my computer to be totatlly sure there is nothing that will steal my key saved on here? Or delete all my arma files and reinstall when i buy the game and dl from the arma site this time?

Ok great! :) I've been looking for people who would say not to worry, but got overwhelmed and starting rethinking when everywhere i searched it was talking about ppl getting "banned for no reason". I'm not the type to cheat, but is there any advice you guys can give me about keeping my key safe?
