I noticed a couple of months ago that my laptop webcam was TUNING on by itself every once in a while

At first, my laptop was new so I didn't know that the blue light meant the webcam was on. It is just when I heard about webcam hackers that had been arrested that I noticed I might have been filmed against my will.

Here are my questions:

1- Is everything filmed by my webcam automatically saved on my computer? If so, where would it be saved? I search but I don't find anything...

2- If I find some videos that should not have been made, is there anything I can do? Like identify the hackers and deliver them to AUTHORITIES..?

Any kind of info would help.

Thanks in advance,

Mi
Just to take care of the easy stuff first, does your laptop have a button on or near the keyboard that turns the webcam on or off? You could be hitting that key accidentally.This is what my friend does for his laptop's built in webcam, when he isn't using it, he just covers the lens with a black piece of construction paper, just don't try to make the paper have contact with the lens though.It's easier to just make sure that there is nothing malicious using it.

Mi7, if you suspect that you may be infected with something then go here, follow the directions exactly and post a NEW TOPIC in that forum.In ORDER to "hack" a webcam they would NEED COMPLETE control of your machine/system...
There would be other evidence of this manifesting itself...
