NyteMyre 87 Posted December 25, 2012 A few months ago, i tried to install a DayZ map. It was a little gullible of me to trust an unknown .exe file and it turned out to be a CD-key stealer program. At first i thought my anti-virus stopped it from fully executing, but yesterday, I finally got globally banned on BattleEye. So i figured my CD-key was still stolen/replaced. Anyway, my own fault... nothing i can do about it. BattleEye can't help me with it either. Luckily, ArmA2 was on sale on Steam, so i figured I could just buy a new copy, and be more careful next time with suspicious files. So I bought ArmA2 (with all DLC for a change) on Steam, but before i downloaded it, i was thinking. Is it possible that the same CD-key stealer program will also steal the key of my Steam copy if i install it. Does anyone know the answer for this? I did a full system scan yesterday, and found 2 infected files which are now quarantined (Win32: Downloader....... something.... inside my League of Legends folder).

[frl]myke 14 Posted December 25, 2012 There is never 100% security but i think if you clean your registry, scan your PC for viruses/malware and clean it up as good as it gets. Then you should be relatively save. Not proposing it, just to have it said: the most secure way would be to format your harddisk and install everything (including Windows) from scratch. Most time consuming way but most secure also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
