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.
the status light on my case has been continuously on for about a week now, even when there are no applications running in the task manager. could it be a virus or my hd is dying?
Depends. . . is your power light blinking on and off when you move large files?
j/k -- but do make sure that it's plugged into the right port. If you're not noticing any performance issues or odd noises, I wouldn't matter. Usually a beaming light is either a short or a mixed up plug..
