While there was once only one, the world of diagnostic equpment to invest in has recently become very diversified.

You are therfore going to need to do a lot more investagative worrk to figure which will be the best for you rather than take a Punt and hope.

Hi robo.
I have been readin on the page cardiag.co.uk about this tool. I noticed the word "Crack" In the IT world this means something is done that might not be legal. Or is it me that do not quite understand the term?

Quote from the page :

The anti-virus software should be uninstalled, only after the VCM software is installed can the license run.

Quote End

I do not think its a good idea to uninstall a anti-virus, When I installed Vehicle explorer, i did not have to do this. or any other diagnostic software that i have installed on a computer requires to uninstall any anti-virus on the system. This had me concerned. There is a reason why there is a anti-virus.

What does everyone thinks about this?

It's not unusual for software developers to recommend turning off (this is not the same as un-install) the AV before installing their product - some 'sensitive' AV software can pick up any number of false positives esp with regard to ad-ware and mal-ware.

That said, I generally don't switch it off.

Thumbs Up
