Qihoo 360 total security comes with webcam protection too.
It can be used as a full cloud AV (great 0-day detection due to their heuristic engine, even if there could be few FP) or you can use Avira and Bitdefender offline database.
In any case, it’s very lightweight on system resources
Layered security John. I’m thinking more of any trusted software I allow. Not one to take chances. There could be “reputable company” that might try to exploit this. Just look at the claims made against Facebook of doing this, but i see your point.
yes, you started this post to talk about two non-comodo softwares that can run alongside cis and enhance webcam protection. and i have added a third software that can do the same (and much more), so i don’t think i’m off topic
Gentlemen, take a deep breath and count to ten. This is not a competition not is it about telling what the other can not say. Jon79, leave moderation to the moderators. When you feel a post is in appropriate use the Report to moderator link in the lower right corner of each post.
No problem Eric. I’m not in a contest and Jon79 has his opinion. I do not believe there is a rule you can’t mention CIS in the other software thread. Either way no problems with or from me.
Hi EricJH,
I don’t see any reason to report any sAyer’s post here as inappropriate.
I was just pointing out that my post was neither inappropriate, nor out of topic in this section
Cut out a suitable rectangle of cardboard. Bend it down the middle. Drop it over your webcam so that the lens is covered. Remove when you want to use the webcam. Cheap. Foolproof. Effective.
My webcam (C930e) came with what it called a Privacy screen, which is just a hinged clip mounted over the camera. I use it as a dust screen when not using the camera.
No issues
