If you haven’t bought GlassWire do so. The free version doesn’t tell you when stuff is happening in real time like a program wants to talk to the outside world and blocks it until you allow if that’s what you choose.
I login the site newegg. And guess what? My webcam mic is suddenly activated turned on! I then closed the browser and the mic was deactivated.
Be careful out there men.
For your browser, make sure its settings require that your webcam/mic be “allowed” to be activated, or just block them completely from your browser if you don’t need that.
The mic/webcam detection is removed for 2.0 because Microsoft keeps changing its mic/webcam implementation and it’s technically impossible to make this work reliably for all OS versions,. Sorry.
I hid this thread because I am trying to keep 2.0 beta unmentioned in the forum mostly until 2.0 is officially released on the 15th.
