Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) Catalina 10.15.7
My camera came on this morning. It's still on. Never noticed that before. When i googled it, i found a recommendation to use Terminal and the results are below. i don't remember installing any "virtual camera". Although i did install something called QRCapture a few weeks ago to read QRs. Chrome & Zoom are the only other camera authorized apps in SysPrefs-Security&Privacy. Malwarebytes detected nothing.
What is CoreMediaIO?
Why would it be in my Macbook?
Is it possible i accidentally installed a trojan hack?
Why didn't my Little Snitch catch this?
Why would someone want to look at my face?
Can you see my face? Do i need a haircut? ok this is devolving.
Terminal:
tmcdanel@MBP-KEC ~ % lsof | grep "AppleCamera" tmcdanel@MBP-KEC ~ % lsof | grep "iSight" tmcdanel@MBP-KEC ~ % lsof | grep "VDC" Google 450 tmcdanel txt REG 1,7 424176 1152921500312547843 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/VDC.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VDC avconfere 1735 tmcdanel txt REG 1,7 424176 1152921500312547843 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/VDC.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VDC tmcdanel@MBP-KEC ~ %
Here is an Activity Monitor screenshot of what is running. When i tried to kill AXVisualSupportAgent the camera did not go off, and it instantly restarted.
