My Eee PC comes with a Web cam, which I never use. How can I ensure that it is effectively disabled, so that no software can use it?

Best Answer
modprobe -r uvcvideo
should remove the webcam module temporarily (without the need for reboot). You can add that to/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
to make it permenant. Please check whether the above command works before adding.uvcvideo is the module for my Linux. Yours could be different. Try running
lsmod | grep uvcv
if you face any problems.
