    First and foremost. Got a VXDIAG device to plug into the obd. Included with the purchase UPON REQUEST ONLY is the "free techstream".
    Wow shady.

    They email you a google drive link, embedded within is a link to a sketch mirror site for the actual download.

    Its a zip. Windows defender AI straight went nuts. Without even opening it. After much research, seems as tho its a real trojan, not just a patch. Recognized as Trojan:Script/Ulthar.A!ml

    Apparently the cheap amazon cables that have the CD are guilty of this too.

    just wanted to spread the awareness of if you do go this route, USE A DEDICATED LAPTOP that you are sure is free of any personal information. Preferably on a divorced, secure network.

    --- side question. Legitimate TIS download techstream, what happens after the paid subscription window?
    Any specific loss of features? Or just a dead brick wall of login screen?
