    Everytime I come out of NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 (steam) the little light indicating the webcam is on, is on, it kinda freaks me out. Anyone else have this problem?

    could always be spyware, but system seems to run fine and it happens EVERY time I exit NFS, and only then. I'll run a malware bytes scan just to be safe

    The webcam stays on when I'm playing, I know it uses it as an opion to take an avatar pic.
