Default Webcams....

Hey i was talking to someone and they said that it was possible to be able to hear/see someone on webcam, on msn for example, even if they havent activated it themselves???

is this possible? cos my webcam is in my room... and well... its on all teh time.... should i turn it off when im not using it??!!!!

thanks

katie xx

Its a peice of piss if your PC has a trojan on it, something like Back Orifice from a few years ago will do that sooooo easily.

Most Virus scanners these days will pickup stuff like that these days though!. Get a Virus Guard, Firewall and put the cover over it/unplug it
