Webcam access prohibited? Am I being chased by a pervert who's always trying to hijack my webcam, or is that normal if you have Kaspersky running on the machine?
In addition to websites (as qugart mentioned), it can also be programs that you have deliberately downloaded to your computer.
Since Kaspersky does not know if the program or the website you are visiting is really allowed to access your camera, Kaspersky blocks the request…
I myself also use Kaspersky at home. I can see if there are logs somewhere, which programs have tried to access the webcam.
If I find something, I write something again. Then you can also find out the program that wants to use your camera.
I do not use a Kaspersky AV system, but for me that sounds like an access block by this program.
Maybe you have caught a malware that has not been discovered or just activated.
Everything can't cover an AV scanner. Then complementary malware scanners do quite well to discover things that the virus scanner overlooks.

After all, the active access attempt was blocked. And that's something positive.
Look at the logging, what was recorded there. Maybe an executive program was listed.
By the way:
Even Mark Zuckerberg sticks his webcam off.
And absolute security does not exist!
Yes, cool thanks
My webcam has been taped since the first day
Great! Someone was thinking.
But did you tap the mic too?
It could be a malware, one thing I advise you is: strip your webcam and you can ignore this message.
The camera has been taped.
And you make the settings z.b. Under Windows the camera may not be used / can.
the rest is done by the virus protection program or the browser
I use Avira Antivir in the paid version.
But that is a question of faith.
If you are not sure. You can tap the camera off.
