Oh I know that 342 kb is extermly small. The point of the post was not to promote the use of my scanner without the adapter or even not use a true film scanner. It really was wow it did work and that I really should have taken care of my film.
But thank you for you comment I do appreciate your input.

The image is soft, not in good focus. Fairly good chance that the negative was upside down. Also, 342 KB equates to a very low resolution. You should rescan, making sure the negative is flat, which is one reason for an adapter. Did you scan as film, or as reflective?
You should rescan at a high DPI, make sure it's not set to reflective in your scan settings, and make sure the negative is flat. Maybe you can put a clean piece of glass on top to make sure it's flat.
