I bought one of these Teslong borescopes.
Every time I try to down load the program to operate It. I get a virus warning from both AVG and Firefox that it contains
a Win 32 virus and stops the down load.
I also tried it on an Android phone and it still won't open the scope.
When I plug it into the computer the digital light comes on.
Any suggestions/

Not sure, but maybe it's a different model.
Mine doesn't have any software that gets installed, it's only a camera with a light. When plugged in via USB, Windows 10 automatically recognizes it just like it was a mouse, keyboard, or flash drive. I think WIN32 is a pretty common software virus, which is easy to accidently pick up via the interweb - you may already have it on your system, and the camera just causes it to run/execute? I'm not a huge computer guy, so I'm just brainstorming...someone else may know more.
When I plug mine in, the light goes on also. It usually doesn't open the camera app automatically. I then go to "search" and type "camera", then launch the program. The camera app will usually bring up my webcam initially, but there's also a button that allows you to change to a different input source.
Hope this helps.

I can confirm there is no app required on Mac or linux either. Android requires a UVC (USB video class) app to use any usb camera. Teslong has an app for devices that support UVC. They have an app for iPhone/iPad too, but I haven't used it as I don't have either of those devices.

I feel like I needed to clarify. The "camera app" that I was referring to above is the app that comes included with Windows 10. The borescope doesn't have its own.

It's a Teslong Endoscope camera.
I got it to work on my Samsung Android phone with the Endoscope Camera app
and because my phone had USB/OTG already installed it works well.
Can't use it on my PC. Don't want to now.
Somebody, (a friend) really gouged up my Maxim 54R barrel trying to get stuck cases out.
It still has a case neck and shoulder imbedded.
Now I realize the horizontal grooves are probably from a tap that was used to
try to remove it. (I can see them quite clearly now)
