Kaspersky Security Cloud prevents unauthorized access to your web camera.

To check if webcam protection is enabled, do the following:

  1. Connect your webcam to the computer and turn it on.
  2. Open Device Manager:
    • If you are using Windows 7, click Start in the lower-left corner of the screen, search for Device Manager and click Enter.
    • If you are using Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, press the Win + X combination on the keyboard and select Device Manager from the list.
  3. Find the webcam in the Imaging Devices section, Sound, video and game controllers section or Cameras section and double-click it.

If Kaspersky Security Cloud supports the web camera model, the list will show the file %windir%\System32\drivers\usbvideo.sys, where %windir% is the folder in which the operating system was installed.
