I know Trojans in the past, bo2k and sub7 for example could so I don't see why they can't now.

Any system can be hacked. Anything is possible.  However, the odds that most people are selectively targeting you are slim. 
Mostly, keeping a good antivirus installed and up to date, and ensuring that others don't get access to your computer, would be a standard good safe method to ease the fear of being attacked.
In most cases, in order to be hacked, either you have to install a program that allows you to be hacked, or someone would have to gain access to your computer, and install software (often with having to disable certain aspects of your antivirus software). 
Generally, when ever you transmit anything across the internet, there is no real security. Any good spy agency can intercept it. So if you are spanking your monkey, while watching kiddy porn and running your cam ...chances are...big brother has his eye in the sky on ya.
But the bottom line is, you are probably not that big of a fish for big brother to hack you, and make money by blackmailing you, about your fetish of liking to spank your monkey while watching the muppets.

Most attacks on desktops are done via vulnerable software.
Make sure your Adobe Acrobat is up to date (it almost never is), Jave runtime environment, Windows/Linux updates, etc.
Run Secunia PSI to see all the security holes you have. I have never looked at a computer that did not have security holes.

I have a friend who has done this... It's definitely possible, but yeah you'd have had to do something to make that possible.

It's technically POSSIBLE but most routes to it require someone install something on your computer, not a huge worry for most

Of course. Just cover the lense with tape or blutac when you're not using it.

There was a story some years ago where school laptops where doing that. Maybe it wasn't that long ago? Or this is a new one... http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2010/04/19/school-laptop-spying-case-just-keeps-getting-creepier/
But really someone would have to have your trust or access to your computer to really target you. Otherwise it is more of a lottery crap shoot.
I'm not worried, even if I had a webcam no one would want to watch me wank it

There was a video going around the chans a few years ago that had been taken with that kind of software (I wouldn't be surprised if it was the guy in that story up there who made it.) Three girls, from about 12-18 years old, obviously sisters sharing a laptop. Allegedly, it was a school laptop that one of them owned, all three used it and were regularly on it in the bathroom, had it open while changing or masturbating, all this weird stuff. So yeah, it can happen, but I get the feeling it's more common when you take your PC in for service than just from downloading stuff.

thats not exactly true. Being 'computer savvy' doesnt mean the same thing as it did ten years ago. Now its fairly common for kids to be able to write virii, and know a fair deal about penetrating networks and exploiting holes in software. Keep task on the things connecting to your computer, as alan said make sure everything is up to date, one of the easiest ways into a system, also keeping a piece of tape on your webcam is not at all a bad idea. Microsoft has openly stated that they will sample background sound and video at random and upload it to their servers, for anyone who has a kinect I recommend keeping it unplugged or taped up if you are not using it.

Yeah it is possible.
There is software that you can install so that if someone steals your computer you can activate the mic and cam remotely to record them.
I used to fold a business card and put it over the cam when I was not using it.
I am less paranoid these days.

I'm not too good with computers, but I've come across sites that just link to people's open cams. You can watch people do all kinds of shit. It's really pretty boring at the end of the day though.

Just so you guys know... It actually is VERY possible. It's quite common on darknet. Usually through security holes in java and/or flash.

Something always bugged me out about this. I never used or purchased a computer with one attached to it. Either creep or fed, idk, it's something possible.
