Just last week I had to help my sister reinstall windows because she used respondus and now her computer blue screens every time she turns on her webcam. It runs as root and appears to mess with the kernel, so a clean reinstall seemed like the only solution. It’s really so much worse than I imagined at this point I’d classify this software as straight up malware.

This is one of the reasons I'm happy closed platforms like iOS and Windows 10S are getting more and more mainstream. They'll simply prevent these poorly written drivers from getting written in the first place.
