Some anti virus software will give a warning that the HondaHackv2.0.exe contains a trojan. Technically it does. The file that triggers the warning is 'dirtycow', which is listed as an 'android hack tool', which it is. The file is not a Windows file so cannot harm a Windows PC. However vigilance should be maintained that other files in the HondaHack.zip do not contain malicious software. If you are not technically savvy and comfortable installing and running this type of software then we recommend you do not do so.
Hondata mobile is only supported on the OEM navi. For other android devices please do not post here.

However, if the S300 is plugged in before the SManager software is installed, Windows will not find the USB drivers, Windows will disable the S300 and never prompt you again to install the drivers.
