Avoid Key stealers

3 More key stealers today, People should seriously read this.

I'm new to DayZ hacking. What are key stealers and what do they do? (I know it sounds obvious, steal your key) But what does it do?

Like they have a keylogger in the file your downloading then steal keys and also other important stuff you have

It takes away your key and replaces it with a fake key so it looks like your global banned.

guys please help thats happened to me and i really want my dayZ and Operation arrowhead back, anyone got a solution on how to get my key back :P

Get it back? Firstly if your key was replaced, then find your original key and re-enter it use a key changer like the one on here by Darky. If your original key is global banned, you'll have to buy a new one, preferably not from a key stealer (i.e. anyone selling keys on this forum).

If you're spreading a key stealer, spread it on another site. They're normally more gullible too :P

should not do it at all, you wouldn't like it done to yourself

It's common sense really.
You're not going to download something called "UMG FREE DAYZ HAX !!1!11!"

There is another way to tell if it is a keystealer. First off don't download from off-site websites. But if you are still an idiot and do what you can do is download the file (DO NOT OPEN IT) then open it with word pad. (I usually switch my CD-Key to a banned one while doing this just in case i accidentally start the exe) Once word pad opens the file will look like nothing makes sense. From there go to edit and find. Type in key and if something pops up like Bohemia interactive/Arma 2 oa/ Key then that means the file is a key stealer. But, this is a fast way to check, If it does not have this that does not technically mean it is not a keystealer.

Heh, stupid me, downloaded fucking hack from youtube, well now all I get is bad serial number given in setup, hell yeah to me!
