hi, there
is it possible for anyone to secretly watch my webcam, without me knowing it?
I have a feling someone is doing so. If it is possible woudl ples tell me how to do it so i can get even 😡
thx anyways
On MSN Messenger? Maybe. Why don’t you just disable it in hardware manager unless you plan on using it? Or you could also check MSN’s preferences about “share my webcam capabilities with others”

Not likely. Unless you have a Trojan compromising your system. Run a complete updated virus scan to verify.

As I said in your other topic about this: if by “getting even” you’re thinking about doing the same as you suspect that other person is doing, you should really think it over a couple more times as it’s illegal to invade someone’s privacy like that.
Try installing a firewall that logs all incoming and outgoing connections to your computer. Check them frequently to see if you can find anything strange, like someone connecting to your computer while it shouldn’t. Use that computer’s IP address for a trace to get the ISP information for that IP address. Then report that IP address, including your story and the log files to the abuse address of the ISP. That’s the best (legal) you can do aside from making sure nobody can get into your computer in the first place.
