Comments on: School Spies On Kids — At Home! http://computerandonlinesecurity.com/blog/spyware/school-spies-on-kids-at-home/ Stay safe online with jargon-free security hints, tips and resources Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:22:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: April http://computerandonlinesecurity.com/blog/spyware/school-spies-on-kids-at-home/#comment-4878 April Tue, 23 Feb 2010 07:44:27 +0000 http://computerandonlinesecurity.com/blog/?p=2104#comment-4878 I'm already watched constantly by the security cameras at work, when I enter any other business as a customer, and my travels are caught on traffic cameras... I certainly don't need surveillance in my own home! I try not to be paranoid about such things, but awareness is never a bad thing. I guess there was an advantage to my school district continually updating their computing equipment a year or two after I graduated to the next school. We never had webcams or teacher stations with remote access to our monitors, but I would not have been comfortable if we did! Schools already invade student's privacy too often, this is just the next step.

Well ,that was when I touch pc's for the first time,and as all of you know,curiosly ,everyone in that situation try to see everything in the internet,and i mint everything. Think that was introducing in some illegal web pages ,proposit of the FBI. Well,I found that, and a plug in for use my webcam for those FBI uses,so from then and today my webcam ,when not in use ,is looking to the wall.It coul be used against anybody,including those peoples watching you porn videos,or simple video games .
