It appears on the bar where my battery level and the time appear. This eye is only there when I go on Wiki Wirral and no other site. Am I being watched or just being paranoid any ideas please folks ? Cheers

The function is called "Smart Stay" so disable that. It comes under settings-display somewhere The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...
