Best Answer

With the right software installed on your computer, yes. Of course for remote viewing to work your computer needs to be on and connected to the internet.

To prevent this:

1. Don't let anybody install any software you don't know.

2. Keep your anti-spyware up to date.

3. If you have to have a webcam get one with a light that only lights up when the webcam is in use.

No, Web cams have to be on to transmit pictures, however that said, they can be off and still transmit information, except when the computer is off.

How can you spy on someone through their msn webcam camera?

That's impossible. If you are chatting with someone on whatever chat site you are using, you can only "spy" or see them through their own webcam while they are having it on. If they turn the webcam off or log out of the chat then there's nothing you can do to force the webcam to start again.

Can you see someone through your webcam even if the person you are trying to see does not have a webcam?

No, you cannot. Your webcam (which is connected to YOUR computer) can only record what is in front of it (that's you.) If the other person does not have a webcam, there is nothing to record their face. However, the other person will be able to see you (since you have the webcam.)
