OBD-II diagnostic tools work with antivirus software? For example, AK300 Key Programmer is ready to work; does it need to close your PC antivirus software? The answer is yes. Otherwise, the PC antivirus software will make the diagnostic device not work normally; maybe the pre-stored dada is missed.

Here is a good example. A MB Star C3 user asked is it possible to find back the pre-stored files in C3 HDD, since when the operation is run, it reads “ …files are missed”. After we told him “your PC antivirus software was not closed and it damaged some files of HDD, the hope to find back the data is slim”. Yeah, he should feel disappointed, and we are also feel sorry to him.

This is a general practice that in the family of OBD-II diagnostic tools, lots of device could not work with PC antivirus software. Such as: MB Star C4; elm 327 scanner; BMW OPS; VAS 5054A, and so on. OBD-II diagnostic tools will not damage your PC, but the PC antivirus software will damage your diagnostic devices.
