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.

Just depends on your needs/system. Fraps has better quality because it dumps uncompressed video to your HD, while GameCam does not. GameCam compresses the video first and also uses (i believe) a different method for writing it on your HD. Basically it goes like this:
Fraps: Better quality, but requires a good system to record videos at any respectable resolution. But if you're going to upload your videos to say youtube, that's not much of an issue. For example, even if you had a system with a slow HD and CPU, you could still get away with running your game at 800x600 or 640x480. So not only would it perform decently while recording, people wouldnt notice much of a difference because of how youtube downsizes videos to 320x240.
GameCam: Not as good quality (you wont really notice, unless you nitpick), and uses a compression scheme while recording so it doesnt chew up HD space like Fraps can. It's also alot less taxing on the system and you can still get respectable frame rates at respectable resolutions while recording.
I have used both and I liked GameCam better.

Plus for fraps is that is does support the g15 keyboard and display your fps on the lcd of the keyboard.

I lolled.
I've had a registered copy of FRAPS for the longest time, I have no clue who the real owner is...
