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

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.
Sooo... a *friend* is now uninstalling her Kaspersky software today...thanks for the tip! (from my friend, of course)
Can my mobile phone "hear" me? I know it does when I say "ok google". Can it hear me without a prompt? Reason why I ask is occasionally I'll have a voice to voice conversation with someone about a particular topic (like, say, a specific travel destination) and later that topic will appear shortly thereafter in ads or more prominently in websites I visit.
I'm going with "yes, your phone can hear you" because I'm naturally suspicious. But I'm wondering what you have to say about it.
