Hello all,
A while ago I found a really great piece of software online for the new Intel Macs, with an iSight built in. You could turn it on and off with your Apple Remote. If it detected any movement of the MB/MBP it would automatically take a picture with the iSight and send it to a specified email address.
From what I can remember the software was called something like iSpotU, iSpyU, iSeeU, or something like this. I've had an extensive Google of these though, and haven't found anything.
Does anyone happen to know which software this was? Thanks!

iAlertU. There's a freeware variation, too.

when I saw the title of this thread, I thought it to be some kind of software that will prevent i-sight from being hacked through internet. Imagine if someone can see you through I-sight without its LED being ON while you are connected to internet.

Hehe.. if my Mac was going to be hacked, the iSight probably wouldn't be my first concern.

This is not possible. The iSight cannot be switched on without the LED coming on as well.
Another version of the anti-theft software here, btw: http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/
This one checks the machine's IP as soon as it connects to the internet after being stolen and passes that on, and it will take pictures of whoever's using it, too.
