1) Add extra protection for webcam and microphone -> Blocks unauthorized access of applications to the webcam and microphone and ask user permission.

2) Add ability to block unauthorized changes of browser settings -> Prevent adware and malicious scripts from changing browser start page, search engine and other settings.
