    Hello, I have an acer aspire 5920g and I have installed windows 7 on it. Since I have installed windows 7 on it there is a problem. My webcam turns on as soon as I start a game. It doesnt matter which game, the webcam starts by itself. Whether I start modern warfare 2 or l4d, the webcam turns itself on. What is going on? The webcam doesnt turn itself on when I dont play games.

    Please help, because I have the idea that I'm being watched.
