My webcam is turned on and i'm worried

Post » Sun May 18, 2014 7:51 am

This isn't one of my joke threads guys. A couple of hours ago I used cameroid to take a pic of myself and post it on here.

The webcam light still hasn't turned off though.

What should I do? How do I find out if some creep is watching me.

If it's an integrated laptop webcam you can probably disable it in the device manager.

Duct tape over webcam, then throw it out the window if paranoia continues.

unless you have your webcam configured to turn on on start-up, it should be off after a reboot

Make sure it is a high window. If it isn't damaged enough, it can repair itself.

To be honest I think the vibration was my imagination. I get very paranoid very quickly!

Don't know if you're just trying to have a cheap shot at me, but whatever.

Doesn't turn off webcam, immediately assumes a creep is watching.

Can't just exit a program, you have to make sure it is off sometimes.

This sounds like a certain M$ console.

Perhaps it's acting as a plot device because your life has been rather dull as of late, and you happen to be the protagonist in some Truman rip-off show.

Anyway, it's gone now. There's not anymore to it.

Have you ever been affiliated in the past, currently, or in the future with a terrorist organization? If so, probably the CIA or NSA. :)

Probably need to shred all your identity papers, and become a ghost. Just to be safe, crunch down on the cyanide capsule hidden in your false tooth. Just in case. :D

I usually have something taped over it when I'm not using it.
