False Positive
« on: December 10, 2011, 11:00:23 PM »
I tried to report it using my phone, but it failed.
I'm getting a detection for the app "USB Webcam" with the error that it denied read permission.

Really? That's weird. I just installed the application you are mentioning and scanned it with the same version you have and it didn't report the USB Webcam as a problem at all.

Could you try a rescan, please?
