Hey there, yes, I am a newbie, and a very inexperienced one at that!
Here goes, my first thread....

In the last week or so, I have found that my webcam control program starts up and starts taking a rapid succession of photos without so much as a by your leave. I delete these (up to a hundred if left unchecked!) and shut the control program down. It promptly restarts and repeats the process.

I am assuming this is some kind of hijacking to catch 16 year old girls undressing in front of the computer. Heh heh, what a surprise they would get!! A 32 year old man scratching picking his nose! ;-)

Anyhow, what is this thing, how did I get it, how can I stop it, is it a security thing or is it a program error? I run Norton, have auto update, did get that virus a couple of weeks back, and do run adaware. Unfortunately, I run Kazaa (although for how long, I don't know) and it seems that everything and anything gets in that way.

Apologies if I am rambling, it is late, I am tired, and totally pissed at my poor machine!

Narcosis.
