Unplug that webcam!

There's a truly evil new virus that switches on your webcam without your knowledge and records everything!

It should be called the "Voyeur" Virus

they make the technilogy but no one bothers making this new tech. safe...

ex. I was in lowes the other day, I was standing there talking to the plumbing guy, which I also know personally....the lights in the entire store go out...apparently all the electronics are controlled from another store and someone hacked into that store and shut the other store (the one i was in) completely down...which is very eery being in a Lowes with no power....and of course no one in the store was smart enough OR wasnt able too get everything back up and operating with the computers.....I dont know how all these backdoors can so easily be forgotten, then even more easily found.....

I always get a webcam that has a slider window on it.....stays shut when not in use.
