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 cant remember where I read it but Im pretty sure it said you want cleaners with no alcohol at all in them. I think it said something along the lines of alcohol messing up the coatings on the monitor glass. You should be able to get away with a water and soap solution.

Can anyone back this up? Soap and water leaves residue and streaks, my pet peeve is clean spotless mirrors , windows, and any type of glass 
http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=289507 lists a few ways people clean their monitors. The last post of that thread links to NECs reccommended way of cleaning monitors.

"Q. What can I use to clean my screen?
A. LCD: Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Case of persistent dirt, wipe with cloth permeated by water, ethanol, isopropyl-alcohol completely. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner (ex Acid, Alkali and Acetone).
CRT: A special coating is provided on the glass (CRT) surface of this monitor to reduce a reflection and static electricity on the glass surface. Due to the delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol, neutral, nonabrasive cleaning solution to minimize dust. If the screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply water or soften neutral detergent with much water directly to a soft cloth and use it upon wringing water, to clean the glass surface.
CAUTION: The following agents will cause damage to the CRT when cleaning the glass surface: Benzene, thinner, acid/alkaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive powder, detergent with antistatic agent, or detergent for cleaning. "
