Title: WebCam Shield, Camera randomly still turning on
Post by: Sousa3 on June 18, 2020, 03:35:05 PM

Hey, my camera started randomly turning on and off regularly so I think that my pc is compromised somehow (it can either be for video or just microphone).

So i purchased avast and turned the webcam shield to strict, but it still does the same, and if im in a work meeting for example, it turns off randomly as well, like for 1 or 2 seconds, then back on.

How is it possible that something is still using the webcam and going past avast webcam shield? doesnt this make this shield kinda worthless?

thanks
