You have either downloaded a script and received a virus or a shady program that promised a performance boost and stole your key. Either/or, it's your fault and there's nothing BE or the DayZ staff can do for you.

Note: bad key errors can be false, as I've gotten one before randomly and haven't had problems with it, so try again and see if the problem persists. If so, see above.

try going into your registry files and deleting your ArmA 2 OA folder. To get to the registry, go to "Start", find "Run", and enter "regedit", and click run. Once there, navigate your way to the ArmA 2 OA folder. Here is the path- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → Wow6432Node→ Bohemia Interactive Studio → ArmA 2 OA. Right click click on the folder and delete it. If it is saying you do not have permission to delete it, go though the steps below..

To delete the ArmA 2 OA folder from your registry*, highlight the ArmA 2 OA folder, go to the "edit" tab, click "permissions...", and then click advanced. Find your computer's user name, highlight it, and click "edit". From there you should see a table of checkmarks. Where it says "Full control", highlight allow. This will grant you complete control, thus letting you delete the ArmA 2 OA folder. Once you do that, be sure to click "apply". You should return to the window called "Permissions for ArmA 2 OA". Look for the box that contains "Full control" "Read" and "Special permissions". Checkmark "Allow" for full control, then click apply. You should be able to delete ArmA 2 OA. Reinstall the game and verify it's integrity cache via Steam.

*Editing your registry can cause permanent damage to your system. I will not be held responsible for any damage you cause.

With an attitude like that, you won't be getting much help.

Refer to the first part of my post if you've tried the second part.
