Camera

I’m unable to use my laptop camera and a pop up box tells me to make sure it isn’t being blocked by an antivirus. How do I check if that’s what is happening?

  • Which version…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

If avast would block the camera’s software you should get a pop-up from avast that it has detected malware/blocked something.
If not, check the avast log files to see if anything is in it about this.

Which laptop ??? Model and make.
