a few weeks ago my webcam light wouldnt go off as if it was in use but it wasnt, oh well i have a cover and im not interesting i just play with cds and stuff on my desk and type away...

i found out that it was just explorer being gay again, not closing programs fuly so having to go into task manager stupid explorer.exe

I agree with fluffy_lobster. A virus would first have to find a webcam conected to your computer. Then either find its drivers to control it or find a whole in either the cams program or Windows. And its not like it will run ever cam on the market. Useally the chepper ones for like $30 are more of a risk than the $50 - $100 ones.

If the drivers are correctly installed, the Windows API has routines to perform functions with webcams, which will work almost definitely without problems.
