Speaking of remote access, I did that with the tech guy while trying troubleshoot my printer problems. It was weird seeing things move across my screen and I wasn't the one doing it. He fixed it and severed the link and no issues whatsoever after that.

Nope never thought of it. But if I ever get arrested for scaring someone to death , the dead guy will be the camera hacker that saw me in the morning before my first cup of coffee!!!

Nope, always better to be safe than sorry. Like pulling down your shades or shutting the curtains. Just good sense.

I've had blue painters tape over my camera. It's comes off easy if I want to use the camera, but it goes on without any trouble too.
