Richard, thanks for the update.. and forwarding the message..
This one statement stands out as a gross misunderstanding and exaggeration ,"There was something suspicious going on. As I said before, I'm not allowing any outsider to take control of my computer."
Welcome to OS X - at least the later versions where Apple gives its user's awareness and control to make a decision at the user level to allow, or not. It really comes down to understanding and trusting the application developer. I've been using an IP Sniffer for over 20 years to control both inbound and outbound services.
Maybe he'll come around the more he learns how this is how things work today, and it's okay. The video camera piece I can appreciate and many folks have something over their video lens. I have an older mac mini and keep my usb video camera unplugged until i need it.
This is interesting, there's another post that looks similar to how this started.
