First and foremost I'm only bringing this up out of curiosity and it's a hypothetical so there's no need for alarm; at least I hope there isn't...lol
Anyway, what I was wondering is with a program like 1AVCenter that has a lot of capability and can remotely monitor the goings on of a Desktop or Webcam, upload information via FTP (a universal format) then couldn't someone (even the developer) use the program like Spyware with a backdoor entry or a master password? Remotely turning on a webcam or microphone, and disabling any indicator LED's showing the webcam and mic are hot; then upload all that data with the user never being the wiser? Unless a user is constantly monitoring their PC's resources, and with PC's today having lots of resources to begin with, how plausible is it that a person wouldn't even notice a drain on their system resources or that they were actually being monitored?
Again, it's a hypothetical, but how plausible could something like that be? Thoughts on this anyone? Like I said I'm sure there's no need for alarm. Besides, the program's interface is peppered with misspells so I wouldn't worry too much about the developers being crafty enough to rig their program that way. But then again... ;)
