A hacker can type into a microphone for laptop?

Hi all
 
Is it possible for a hacker to tap into my laptop computer microphone and listen to me? o.0

Also how do I know if a person is indeed listening? My microphone has never been disabled, and Yes, I have the latest software installed Norton antivirus protection.

 
In addition, how can I tell if a computer hacker broke into my system? Are there subtle/obvious signs?
 
Thank you all.
 
Rick
 

Hello

Yes it is possible then turn off the microphone when not in service.

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.

  • Need a specification complete for laptop model Satellite

    Hello to one and all. I am experienced with the use of the forums, but this is the first time the Forum of Toshiba. So apologies if I write in the wrong section.

    In fact, my daughter who has autism, got a DSA grant to help him to go to University. They say she may have a laptop computer and the provider gave me the following details of what they provide, which is...

    WKH15 PC Toshiba laptop with Core i3 (3217U) 4GB 320 GB DVDRW WIFI Webcam Windows Bridge Ivy 8 (integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000)

    I want to see the complete specification and any review of the toshiba laptop above, before I accept it. I can pay extra to have a better, if I think it is necessary.

    The problem is, I can't find anything on this model and am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, or maybe even have one and can give me relevant information.

    Thanks much for any help.

    To be honest I don't understand your provider. Each manufacturer offers different portable model with different model name or model number so that customers can find presentation on the manufacturers web page.

    Different models have same hardware platform, so I don't know how to help you with your question. Ask her to model exact name or model number, so we can find the exact specification for laptop on the toshiba support page.
