Review on ๐Ÿ”ง FORScan ELM327 OBD2 USB Adapter: Powerful Diagnostic Coding Tool for Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury Vehicles by Jyothish Pillai

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap Chinese junk contains a free virus!

The mini-CD that comes with the drivers and software contains a "Read Before Installing" text file that says you must disable your antivirus and firewall in order to install it . NO WAY! My virus scanner detects a virus on the drive! SO then go to the Questions/Answers to see if anyone found a place to download the drivers. The first question shows answers with 3 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. The first 2 of them caused my Chrome to block the download due to malicious code in the file?!?! What the hell are these guys selling? Simple USB drivers aren't even a science these days and should I trust them when connected to my car? No thanks, you can keep your junk, viruses and malware! If you trust this thing enough to keep it off your computer system and/or vehicle then you are more powerful, but in no way will it touch mine!
