  1. i don’t want to be paranoid, but is someone using my camera?


    i have windows 10 s. the last few days/ week i’ve noticed my cam has a red light inside it (not beside it, inside). i looked up different things it could be, and i’ve found the general answer that if it’s blinking, it’s a problem that you can easily fix. but if it’s solid, someone is using it. mine is solid. i never use my laptops camera for anything. i want to think im just paranoid but everything’s pointing to that someone has control over my cam. if anyone knows if i’m just being dramatic or how to figure out if it’s just a blip, please tell me. thanks.

    Hello Guys,

Can someone help me?
