    Is someone spying on me?


    So I was looking to add a printer the other day and I noticed something odd in the possible devices list. One of the devices on my network is called "USB Camera," described as "POS Barcode Scanner." So, what's the deal with this? Is someone using a wireless camera on my network, or is this tied to a digital camera? I would like to know.

    If it is a wireless camera, how would I go about viewing its feed once I have added it to my devices?

    :)

    is windows 10 still spying?

    i want to upgrade to windows 10, it looks great but with hearing all about this spying issue, is it true?, because if it is then i am going to wait until microsoft charge for it inwhich my guesses it will won't be spying by then, but if it's a rumour that
    windows 10 is spying, then let me be reassured by someone thanks

    I did not know that. It was a little unnerving at first, like someone was spying on me. Thanks for the information.
