System and method for detecting, alerting and blocking data leakage, eavesdropping and spyware

A system for detecting, alerting and blocking data leakage, eavesdropping and spyware in one or more networked computing devices comprising:

• a graphical user interface (GUI) displaying all available hardware device interfaces in each networked computing device;
• a turn-on switch and a turn-off switch for each displayed hardware device interface in each networked computing device;
• a turn-all-on switch and a turn-all-off switch for all displayed hardware device interfaces in each networked computing device;
• a security application configured to monitor status of each available hardware device interface and data traffic across each available hardware device interface, and upon detecting an unauthorized change of status of a specific hardware device interface or unauthorized data traffic across a specific hardware device interface providing a warning signal and turning off the specific hardware device interface by activating the turn-off switch for the specific hardware device interface or the turn-all-off switch.

A computer program product for detecting, alerting and blocking data leakage, eavesdropping and spyware in one or more networked computing devices, wherein said computer program product is stored on a computer readable medium and comprises:

• computer code for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) and displaying all available hardware device interfaces in each networked computing device;
• computer code for providing a turn-on switch and a turn-off switch for each displayed hardware device interface in each networked computing device;
• computer code for providing a turn-all-on switch and a turn-all-off switch for all displayed hardware device interfaces in each networked computing device;
• computer code for monitoring status of each available hardware device interface and data traffic across each available hardware device interface;
• computer code for providing a warning signal, upon detecting an unauthorized change of status of a specific hardware device interface or unauthorized data traffic across a specific hardware device interface;
• and
• computer code for turning off the specific hardware device interface by activating the turn-off switch for the specific hardware device interface or the turn-all-off switch.
