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 once asked them if there was a place that I could write a review or testimonial. They sent me the link, then a week later I got a customer appreciation package. It had some AMD stickers and a pen, an AMD shirt, and a newegg shirt. Pretty sweet.
I have experienced this first hand. It will not disable your OS, it just won't let you download any non-critical updates. I used firefox, went to http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/, and got all the updates I needed.
