To activate you would need to install software that communicated with
whoever was to have the ability to turn on the webcam.
I'm not sure what you mean about preventing it as a problem. It's only a
problem if you were issued the computer, and the issuer installed the
remote camera control software.
There's NO NEED to even be remotely concerned if this is not the case.
You can't just connect to someone's mac and turn on the camera/take pics
of the desktop unless said actions have been enabled by someone who
wants to do them, ie a school district. A new mac/OS installation will
not have the ability to do either.

Ok, it was a white plastics MacBook then, but I saw
the video of the kid with his computer and it's 100% FOR
CERTAIN a Mac.
This question has been butchered.
Please help us address the issue of can you activate or not?
What would I need to do to activate and the contrapositive,
what would I need to do to prevent this as a problem.
I suspect unplug the cam will fix the pix and sound problem, unless your
actually using it - then who is watching - will Little Snitch be your friend?
But what about the "pix of the desk top" issue?
Since such programs may not "damage" so will therefor not register as a "virus"
in any of the programs, what are we to do?
The answers likely apply to ALL COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND ALL BOXES.
