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.
on the OS part i would suggest u upgrade to Windows Seven..since we don't even know how will games react to windows 8..and if the Microsoft cycle is true then we have another VISTA in our hand..and we all know how that went for gaming.
