Webcam Stopped Working

[overkilled1]

No webcam I have works on this computer. It shows up in the device manager as working but my monitor webcam nor the external one shows up in other programs such as skype, it says I have no webcam plugged in. I recently had a virus and after I got rid of it is when this happened. Im assuming this is some sort of driver issue, but uninstalling and reinstalling my webcam driver for either webcam doesnt work. My external webcam works on my laptop so it isnt broken, any suggestions on how to fix this?

Nevermind, just being curious, I deleted Ksthunk.sys and it worked. My webcam was using usbvideo.sys and ksthunk.sys and deleting it fixed my problem for both webcams. Strange but oh well.

Will this work with the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000? I'm having a similar problem, read my post and see if this can apply to me http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3139690/webcam-working-ideas.html
