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've heard it mentioned many times - people that have never used Windows have a much easier time using a Linux box (that's already been set up.) I thought this product was a good idea for the basic internet/email user.
I could see a version of Linux being marketed to the masses. Maybe...
