    CamProviders.exe is using my webcam.


    A popup at the top of my screen say "CamProvider.exe is using the webcam." It is the same popup I get when using Zoom. When I start Zoom I have both popups. Does anyone know what camprovider.exe is?

    I can't see any reason for it to be using my webcam other than to spy. Kaspersky Internet Explorer, KIS, gives me the option to block it, so I blocked it.
