Avid Free isn't Free

Avid Free is not Free
After Downloading Avid Free and using for a couple of days I decided that it
wasn't for me uninstalled program and then the fun began.
First of all Avid actually rewrites into the Apple OSX Kernel

To prove it do fsck -y and look how all the kernel extensions have avid all
over them at least 15 different entries such as Firewire and SCSI and others

Do a search for Avid
and you find hidden extensions not deletable even with SUDO
and in the system Libraries numerous entries and files embedded that can't
be gotten rid of

Even Microshaft isn't this invasive.

USE caution when deciding to use this software.. It works but at what price
to machine stability and integrity of core OS..

Final cut and Final Cut express from here on out

BTW only way to get rid of everything was reformat and rebuild HD

 

I guess you don't believe in backing-up your system regularly, eh?
If you used Windows, it would already be a habit!

 

If you haven't already done it, you should post this on the Avid Free DV
forum on the Avid website

 

Have you done a recheck after rebuilding to see if any/how many
of these Avid kernel "extensions" are stock?

 

What problems did these kernel extensions cause in your system?
