Am I being watched?
Hello,
My firewall (ZoneAlarm Free 9.3.14.0) & iTunes don't play nicely together. If I try to transfer downloaded apps from iTunes 9.2.0.61 to my 32GB iPod Tough (3rd Gen) I get multiple transfer errors. If I shut down ZoneAlarm, the apps transfer without issue. 2 Days ago, after transferring some apps to my iPod, I restarted the Notebook & when I reached the desktop, a popup bubble near the clock informs me that my inbuilt webcam drivers have been installed & my device is ready to use. I never have & nor will I ever have any intention of using the webcam. I have never looked for anything connected to or made any setting changes to the webcam.
I have heard & read a little bit about people taking control of Notebook webcams & was wondering if I should be concerned. My (Toshiba) Notebook is connected to the internet via a Netgear Wireless Modem.
When I purchased the Notebook (Brand New) 2 months ago (Windows 7 pre-installed), I deleted the hidden & backup partitions & reformatted the hard drive. I have had NO popup bubbles regarding the webcam during this time.
The only new piece of software I have recently installed is FireShot 0.87 a screen capture plug-in for Firefox.
Thanks,
Shantelle.
