Why my webcam turn itself?

My webcam turns on itself. I'm not bothered by it, but my mother is very paranoid that someone is watching. Now, I know that it is very unlikely that I would like to know why it happens and how to fix it. Here is some info on my computer:

Windows 7 Service Pack 1

Dell Inspiron 620

Intel I5 processor

Is the webcam: Logitech HD Webcam C270

I am aware of similar positions, but he answers did not work :)

    on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
    strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java
    installs and it causes more questions - have you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again.) Search
    other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right.
    Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program, ask
    topic here.

    Could be a free - BHOremover - BHO - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run.
    not all are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

    It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

    Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) turns itself on at 08:20 every morning

    Hello

    I've had my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for a few weeks now and it's great except, that he puts himself on every morning at about 08:20.

    * The machine is * shut down * every night, (hibernation or suspended), usually between 23:00 and 01:00.
    * I was * stop * switch wifi on the case of the machine every night after his stop, (because I was wondering if the problem came from wake-up-on-lan).
    * I've been unplugging all the usb devices on the machine after
    * I have even unplugged my helmet just in case it makes a difference, (it's not)...

    I was leaving the unit plugged in, but there has been no interruption of power any since I got the machine.

    There is no one else at home when this happens, and I have no pets!

    I'm completely puzzled as to why the machine turns on, (and almost exactly the same time each day!)

    Anyone have any ideas here?

    Thank you

    Freddo

    Hi freddo

    Have you tried to load default BIOS settings?

    Why can't turn off password protected sharing?  I use a Vista SP2 64-bit computer.  When I try to turn it off, I uncheck the button but when I click on the app it changes again to on.  I googled this question and tried many solutions, but so far nothing has worked.

    I am connected to a home network.

    I tried to delete the guest account, enabled the guest account and set up a password for the guest account, which none helped.  I am alo tried to change the IPsec to the manual.  Finally, what makes the work was when I got to a page that seized me add an Everyone permissions. I don't remember how I arrived at this page, but after that I added the new authorization and returned to the page network and sharing, password protected sharing was turned off.

    When I turn my Sansa clip with side switch, it waits 2 seconds then turns back on itself. After 15 seconds, it is empty, but then after about 50 seconds it starts again. The only way I found to save batteries from the apartment is to run to the last song in an album and let run until the end.

    Have you tried a reset of the system?  Hold the switch market upward for 15-30 seconds.
