There is a program that can do this, and yeah it's real.

How do they do this, I though WLM was super secure.

(btw - I'll pm you the link as i don't want to advertise a privacy invasion. )

WLM is secure in that sense...

It either does this like all other virusses and malware do their stuff:
It simply installs a program on your PC, which runs in the background, getting the pics from the webcam and sending it to the viewer upon request from the viewer.

As such, this doesn't work directly in Messenger. It is a 'standalone' program with a client part (the stuff which is installed on the viewer's pc) and a server part (the stuff which is installed on the victim's pc). The video stream is most likely not send over the Messenger network, but directly to the ip.

But, just as Messenger Plus! does, it would of course be possible to kind of integrate it into Messenger, at least for the viewer's part.

Or it patches the Messenger of the 'victim' in such a way that the victim wont see any video requests in Messenger and automatically agrees to such request... But this seems unlikely as it would involve a hell of a lot more work. And usually, malware like this is created by very lazy people...

----

Either way, it most likely always requires to install a piece of the software on the victim's computer.

So as long as you don't install any dodgy stuff (even if you get it from your 'friends') you're safe.

No, nothing is required on the other side. And yes, it uses WLM and WLM only.

On what are you basing your claim that this program works? A random Youtube video?

True, which is why the most likely thing programs like this will do is error out when you run them. Which won't be much of a problem since the creator has already gotten money from you because you were gullible enough to buy the program.
Or, if the author is a bit less lazy, the program will either do what Cookie said in his post, or do something completely different - it could infect your own computer with malware, collect your wlm password or kill your cat.

Hmm i hope this is not true.. Would suck if people could see me without me knowing. what if i am walking around naked.. haha
dont want to find that online hehehe

So have I got this straight, you install something on your machine and this program then lets you view other peoples' webcams without them knowing?

Sounds crackers to me and I'd imagine it's alot of perverts' fantasies

Have *you* tried it and made it work? (in a "is the method sound" meaning and not a "are you a perve" way xD )

Yes, I've tried it, and yes it works and I can confirm I'm a paedophile.

post a link tbh

that's a bizarre one then and has tweaked my curious bone. Care to PM the link? I wanna see it in action and then consider unplugging my webcam when I don't need it! xD

And yes, I too am a massive perv and am clearly looking to exploit women with this program ......

Fuck it, http://www.webcamhackerlive.com

It's not free, and if it doesn't work with you don't blame me!
