I read somewhere that on the top of your computer, in the middle at the very top, there is a camera. You can't disable it, but you can put a piece of tape, I used adhesive, over it and that way the camera can't see or hear you. There was a young lady who kept her computer on while she was dressing and the camera picked up what she was doing. Just a FYI, if it's of any help. I'm sorry I can't tell you what it said because mine is covered.

You need to check ft or a Trojan virus that can access your computer's camera.....you also need to change the passort for booting up you computer and make sure your Internet access is set up with a password. I know if I check available Internet sources,my neighbor's two net works show up, one for their family room and one for their bedroom. If you click on their network it says you need a password. Tha t I should we hat you should have as well, otherwise you neighbor can use your Internet access and perhaps activate your camera.

Try this to disable these pop-ups:
Click on your "control panel"
Click on "internet options"
Click on "Privacy" tab at top of that window
Click on "pop-up blocker"
Click "settings" in the blue box
Click "Blocking level" in blue box at bottom of this window
Click "Medium: block most automatic pop-ups" from the short list of choices
Hope this helps.
