Who has hijacked my webcam?

Who or what has hijacked my webcam?


I saw that the green light was on my webcam and that mean it’s sending. Normally I sit in a Towel in front of my computer because it’s hot her in Thailand but lucky me I have cloth on today. I turned the bloody cam to a dead spot but its still on.

How can I see what application using it? I closed all MSN and Skype

 

Go to the Task manager and see if you find something abnormal

 

Yes you should check your Task Manager and see if anything comes up under the cameras name. My camera always lights green lol .

- Prilep

 

ITS ME! BWAHAHA!
No, seriously - this is why when Im on a windows machine I ONLY ever plug in the webcam when I want to use it.

 

hmmm I vote keeping cloths on until you figure it out ha

LOL! Its a good idea to only plug in the webcam when you need to use it.

 

well i think it was a website that did it. One of the top on Google i will try tomorrow when i burn my DVD finish and i let you know. Luckt me i have a green light on the top of the cam.

 

lol you were that girl with those boobs?

 

Hm, my webcam light is always green unless I'm recording.. then it turns red.

 

i checked and it was not the website i thought it was,,,,now i have NO idea what it can be. I closed down everything but the lamp was still on and MSN told me that the webcam was busy

 

I assume, then, that you have constant traffic showing up on your NIC?

 

whatever you do, don't use the search term "webcam jacking" if you go looking for answers

edit: old but interesting article on the subject: Virus worms way into webcams

 

Lol..I never heard of this before. Interesting.

 

I'd unplug it until you figured this out...

 

I turned the computer off and it was ok. Now its not a problem anymore. I ran virus check and everything nothing. I think it was a pop or something that made it.
