Just because you've got  malware protection  installed doesn't mean you can ignore these warning signs. Software isn't perfect, and sometimes a brand-new zero-day malware attack can slip past your security, at least until the purveyors of your protection push out an update. 1. Your System Tools Are Disabled A smart user, suspecting the presence of malware, might launch Task Manager to investigate, or check settings using Registry Editor. If you suddenly find that trying to use these or other system tools triggers a message saying your Administrator has disabled them, it may well be an attempt at self-defense by malware on your system. 2. An Unknown App Sends Unnecessary Warnings Creating and distributing fake antivirus programs (also called scareware) is a lucrative business.

  Laptops come with built-in webcams, desktops do not. Here’s the easiest way to turn your Android phone into a wireless webcam.  Use DroidCam Android users can try a free app called  DroidCam  to turn it into a webcam. To get started, you’ll need two pieces of software: the  DroidCam Android app  from the Play Store and the  Windows client  from Dev47Apps. Once both are installed, make sure your computer and phone are on the same Wi-Fi network. The DroidCam Android app should have an IP address listed—something like 192.163.2.71—which you can enter in the desktop app to connect the two.
