I just had some "nice" experiences with cam2pc's camera autodetection. After it did not find my Canon A60, it went on with autodetection and somehow developed interest in my Canon CanoScan N670U scanner. It started to move the optical unit as in a normal scanning process - with one "little" difference: It didn't care for the physical end of the scanner. It just went on and on trying to move the unit. Luckily I was quick enough to pull the USB plug before it got seriously damaged. The gears inside were making very unhealthy noises. :evil:
You might wanna check that or at least put a warning about scanner incompatibility somewhere... :(
