When I use my laptop I get the feeling that I’m being watched.

Is there a possibility for that?

How do you get the feeling?

The only way somebody can be literally watching your screen, is through remote access.. That’s something you would personally set up. If you have standard and basic safety tools on your system, nobody should be able to get a remote access without your permission.

Re: You’re being watched

Then the basic security tools on your system would notice it and prompt you about it. Absolutely.

You cable provider do keep track of your activities . Try watching child porn online and FBI will be knocking on your door the next day .

Re: You’re being watched

You can monitor all the internet activity for your home internet too . Do this . . .

  1. Register with OpenDNS ( Its free )
  2. Change DNS settings of your home router to OpenDNS IPs ( again free )
  3. Login to your OpenDNS account and check log for the Internet activity ( free )

and plus you can actually put parental control via OpenDNS too . Means if you want to ban Facebook in your house , just add it to your OpenDNS account and no one will be able to access it .

Hareem, I’ve met a few girls who were scared of this. They were not computer experts enough to realize how complicated and obvious such a hack would be and would not go under the scanner of your basic security tools.

In anycase, they used to put a small black opaque tape on the camera.. in the rare occasion wher they wanted to use the camera, they would take the tape off, andput it back on later. I guess they got a lot of psychological relief with this.
