If I'm searching or cruising on the internet could anybody see me? Also if I'm in a chat room chatting with someone could that person see me? I am very concerned about this and worried, I hope nobody will be able to see me and invade my privacy! please help..........

In every program I've used, the default setting is that it requires your permission. So don't fret, in all probability it is already set up to protect your privacy!

I think they will be able to see if you have a web cam, but they will not be able to view it unless they have your consent. This will appear in the conversation if someone wants to see you, and you can accept or decline.Hope this helped!
