Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I validated once and kept the code from the validation tool and just keep using it over and over without having to run the validation tool. Its more of a pain in the rear that u have to go through all this crap for DirectX or MS Antispy. With them checking product key and not encrypting the data...
