Norton (Symantec) and McAfee are terrible products that catch very little. I get to clean up after them enough.
#10 Google Chrome installs a wiretap app called chromium. If your pc has a camera then you are being wiretapped.
Google says they give you an option (they do not tell you about how to opt out). So you do turn off the wiretap option after hearing about it and having to do searches on the internet.
How do you know it is really OFF?!
Excerpt: Falkvinge countered Google’s explanations saying: “The default install will still wiretap your room without your consent, unless you opt out, and more importantly, know that you need to opt out, which is nowhere a reasonable requirement.” He says a hardware switch to disable the microphone and camera built into most computers is needed.
