Apparatus and method for preventing eavesdropping

A method for preventing eavesdropping via by a detector module executing on a computer, comprising:

• detecting by the computer detector module a use of at least one of audio or visual input information by a software entity;
• determining by the computer detector module if no more than one authorized application programming interfaces are receiving the input information from an authorized driver that is receiving the input information;
• and
• alerting by the computer detector module if more than one authorized application programming interfaces are receiving the input information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for preventing eavesdropping via by a detector module executing on a computer, comprising computer-executable instructions executed by the computer detector module configured for:

• establishing that a interface circuit interconnected to a device is providing at least one of audio or visual input information is active;
• further establishing that only one driver is controlling the interface circuit and is authorized to control the interface circuit;
• alerting if more than one authorized driver is controlling the interface circuit and;
• further alerting if the driver controlling the interface circuit is unauthorized.
