DUALVIEW offers a new 21 day trial, software program for streaming your web-cam, again I have yet to install this software, and give it a good test.
While I am on the subject of web-cams - keep in mind - if you have a video capture card which has analog or SVHS inputs you can send your home tapes over the internet. You will hook up your VCR to the card input and simply play your tape. You may be able to plug your camera into the VCR and when not playing a tape you will send the image from your camera.
You are going to be out in the world when you chat so you need a way to make sure you are safe.
HOUSECALL Trend Micro is a virus protection company - the linked site is an online detection and cleaning program. They are up-to-date, this site will allow you to remove any virus or trojan on your computer. Its is a free service I use it frequently.
Unlike simply surfing, or getting email, when you chat you sometimes give opportunities to other chatters to have access to you and your computer. When you allow this by accepting files, photos, gestures - there is always a possibility you are also accepting a trojan or a virus. I dont want you to be too worried about this, but like outside life you can pick up something. Give your computer the 'Flu' so to speak. I will get into firewalls a little later and give you addresses so you can download one or more if you want them.
