Imp1.3 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) after opening a few new tabs I received this from Kaspersky. Anyone know why this happens and if this is a concern? I made the webcam set now to Restricted mode in Kaspersky since then. Edit: Nothing from Kaspersky Quick Scan Edited October 26, 2018 by Imp1.3 Share this post Link to post
The Shield Posted October 26, 2018 Hello Imp1.3, depends on the site you were visiting. If the site (or an extension on Google Chrome) is trying to use your camera, Kaspersky warned you. 9 minutes ago, Imp1.3 said: I made the webcam set now to Restricted mode in Kaspersky since then. Good choice. Share this post Link to post
Imp1.3 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Thank you @The Shield. What do I need to do? It was a couple of news sites I believe! Edit: Malwarebytes Premium said nothing detected when issue happened and also after manual scan Edited October 26, 2018 by Imp1.3 Share this post Link to post

Imp1.3 Posted November 1, 2018 So I posted earlier about Google Chrome wanting to access the webcam, , where I since set the webcam access manually in Kaspersky to 'Restricted'. However I have narrowed the pattern of attempted calls to access my webcam down and it is a little disturbing. Google Chrome attempts to use the webcam when I 1) Sign into Google Mail 2) Access Linkedin.com also 3) Where Device Census attempts to use the webcam. In light of a plethora of global events regarding privacy concerns, what is the reason for all this? Who is behind it? Why would someone need to capture my face whilst browsing these personal sites - identity theft is a risk these days. Is this all normal or perhaps is there something more at work, eg someone hacking here? Can anyone give me an insight? Much appreciated. Share this post Link to post
