Also, do you cover your webcams with opaque tape when you're not actively using them? (I do Smile )

I would recommend Avira (https://www.avira.com/) these days. Stay far far away from Kaspersky. Despite it certainly being one of the top, if not the top anti-virus solution out there, the company is known to work closely with the KGB (and lie about it) and Russian government. Best scenario is that they are a shady company, worst scenario is that their entire AV suite is a piece of spyware for the Russians.

I cover my webcams with a few layers of white sticky labels. Enough so that when I turn the camera on, all I see on the screen is black.

I know a small amount regarding both, but I wouldn't consider myself an expert on either. I've created a few basic games but nothing advanced, same with apps.
