No. And it doesn't have a cover to close it unlike my old netbook. Also, it doesn't have a light to indicate if it's being activated. All go stealthy.
Of course I do. And I educated other people, especially those with little kids to do so as well. Or if they don't cover their camera to at least keep their laptop shut when they don't use it.
No, I don't do anything embarrassing (to me) or incriminating in front of the webcam. Maybe if I know it's being recorded.
I don't cover my webcam, but I do uninstall the drivers, since I have no purpose in using one (Laptops only).
I cover the webcam on both my laptop and tablet with opaque tape because neither one has a light to indicate if it is on.
For absolute certainty. Otherwise there may be backdoors, exploits, and the like both in the OS and the firmware.
You know the Snowden and NSA and stuff. Also the hackers who exploit the camera to black mail you later on.
No – any program on my system that is capable of using it is bound and gagged! (besides ...the lighting at my workstation is so bad that I appear onscreen as a gray amorphous blob!)
I don't see the point. If my webcam is being used a LED lights up. That's never happened except when I am using my webcam. To those who will say that the webcam can be used without the LED lighting up, this is just not possible. There are some Logitech webcams which have the option to be used without the light coming on. This is the way they were designed, not some exploit by hackers. As for other webcams, I'm sure there is nothing to worry about.
I have built-in, I have it covered with a thick piece of paper and the camera is disabled in device manager as well. Yes, I could have uninstalled drivers for it, but Windows has tendency installing them again and then it is enabled. Funny, just last month I have read the article, where they proved, that it is indeed possible. If you want, you can can always find a way, this is just one of them: http://www.tested.com/tech/mac-os/4...-led-indicator-light-isnt-always-trustworthy/ It is not the paranoia, In another article, they showed how to see, what you have typed, just based on the sound made by typing through the wall or at a long distance.
From the article: So it's not a problem as of yet if you are unlucky enough to own a new Mac, and the article refers specifically to old Macs. It stands to reason that they are not the only webcams that are vulnerable. However being the non paranoid type, I'm not worried that my webcam may get exploited. If I was, I guess I would cover my webcam with tape, and would also install antivirus software, and not run Windows with an admin account with UAC disabled. But, I'm not paranoid and am more than happy with my current under protected configuration.
