Camera in use

[ZzachBbrown]

For awhile now, when I go to use my camera on my Logitech HD C525 webcam I am prompted with an error stating that my webcam is in use by another program. I've searched for time and time again via Task Manager for whatever may be keeping my camera running in the background. I've updated my motherboard drivers and updated whatever Logitech had on their site. My temporary solution for this is to simply unplug and plug back it back into the USB port it was occupying.  I've scanned with for malware. I have a daily Malewarebytes scan.

 

Can you lovely people use your collective genius to help me crack this case?

 

Thanks, guys!

In Malwarebytes, choose the scan tab at the top, then custom scan, then in the part where you can pick specific locations to scan, expand the C: drive, then check the box for the "Users" folder.  Then expand program files and check the boxes for your browser installations.  Run the scan again and see if you find anything.

You're a wizard! Thank you so much. I am truly grateful. 

Do the normal maintenance scans skip over these areas of the drives?

Unfortunately yes.  Doing a full scan will get them, but it takes forever.
