Hello everyone!
So I am using a mac, and while I am not using any applications that require a webcam (like skype or video chat clients), I see a red dot on my webcam.
Does this mean my webcam is on and spying on me?
If so, what should I do? If it is spying on me, then it could record my voice.
Recently, my gmail was hacked due to phishing, so maybe this is a concequence of that?
If so, how do I deal with this.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Let's cover it for now.

For Apples you rarely install an antivirus but do need to scan for bad things. http://www.apple.com/shop/question/answers/mac/do-i-need-an-antivirus-program-for-my-macbook-pro/Q7HU22X2K27JTAF7J kicks that around a little but if you are not being proactive about this, eventually something sneaks in.
Simple. A strip of black electrical tape will deal with that nicely! The microphone is another matter... :-) Speaking from the department of paranoics department...
