Your post didn't make a lot of sense, but anti-virus programs will NOT flag it as the stealer is not set to copy itself/spread which is (part of) what anti-virus programs check for. And yes, my analysis shows that it leaves a process running (that restarts when rebooted) that probably steals your key. Please note that this is just a conclusion I reached with out confirming it as I didn't want the hassle of removing the processes it leaves behind.

Bad CD-key means that it isn't (or ever was) a valid key. You probably entered the cd-key wrong. Try re-installing the game and make sure you enter the cd-key correct.

The tweet from News says 1.7.5.5 so I guess that's another typo that hsould have been fixed? ;)

Check the sticky topic on top.

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. What's the error message you get in DayZ since you're trying this? You can write the error message in swedish if you'd like (I'm Norwegian).

First off, your friend didn't do this. The hack doesn't let him steal it, it sends the key to the guy who created the "hack". Your friend would more likely go into regedit and steal the key himself so he could continue to play. So here's my theory. Your friend hacked or you read how you could spawn whatever and teleport and shit. So you got tempted and got duped. So now you're bitter that you lost your key and complain here. I hope you see the irony of you trying to hack and got hacked instead. Cause if you do - it's hilarious.

Note that anti-virus programs, anti-malware programs, etc doesn't detect the key-stealer since it doesn't reproduce itself. All it does is read an entry in the registry which all programs do, then transmits a few packets to its owner. There's nothing abnormal with that that will trigger these programs to flag it. The first thing you should do though, is to verify that you have the correct cd-key installed. If you bought from cog.com they come with a default cd-key that has to be changed (although I'm pretty sure that key is globally banned).

Make a post in the ban appeal section, with the servername in topic.

What happens when you try to delete the key?

Since it's private hive, they can do whatever they want to. My guess is that you either picked up some illegal weapons or hacked.

He has accounts on lots of hacking forums so he just got caught with his pants down. So long, cheater!

I have the opposite problem. I'm a hero, well into 40k and as I joined a server I was invisible in 3rd person. When in 1st person looking at my body, it seemed as my ghillie was changed to military clothes or something. Disconnected and joined another server, now my ghillie was gone and I was in my hero clothes which I hate since I'm pretty much like a huge, walking shoot-me-sign in those white clothes.

Yeah I guess they could make some servers with e.g. 4km VD and some with default 1600m. When it comes to the mod, the community has the option to change this though, so why haven't they?
