Pub installed webcam on my notebook

IP, would you Adam and Eve it?

SO THERE was I having a quiet noggin in central London and checking my spam on my notebook using a Cloud wireless connection when all of a sudden a strange process kicked off.

Although the notebook was firewalled, I noticed it starting to install something.

So I watched as it did install it, and then checked to see what I'd got.

Ah, for some odd reason the pub had installed a webcam complete with a network path to it. Click on the path and the following screen came up.

At this point, I thought that I'd better not continue this interesting experiment, so I disconnected from the wireless net.

Only to find the electronic box containing the Cloud net and a selection of cheesy pub quiz games shut down, along with two fruit machines next to it. It rebooted into Windows 2000, and so I made my excuses and left. How odd.... ยต
