DayZ

Overview

DayZ is a software program developed by Bohemia Interactive. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named DayZ.exe. The setup package generally installs about 97 files and is usually about 165.9 MB (173,956,875 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 52% of users of DayZ come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
