Chapter 5 Installing and Verifying Avid System Software

Antivirus Applications

Antivirus programs containing autoscanning features can interfere with the

operation of an Avid application. For example, some antivirus programs

can be configured to run in the background and scan all files for viruses

whenever they are opened, copied, or moved. Since virus scanning is a

processor- and disk-intensive activity, it can interfere with recording and

playing real-time effects in an Avid application.

Avid recommends that you do not scan all files or schedule any

background task like virus scanning when you are using an Avid

application.

File deletion protection utilities also consume system resources and could

interfere with the proper operation of an Avid application. These utilities

automatically back up any files that are deleted, even temporary files

created and deleted by the Avid application. This consumes a large amount

of disk space.

Uninstalling the Avid Application

When an Avid system is ordered directly from Avid, Avid removes the

software application prior to shipment. This allows the customer to install

the application and accept the software agreement.

To individually uninstall the Avid software applications without

removing the needed drivers:

1. Open the Control Panel and double-click the Add/Remove Programs

icon.

2. Find and select NewsCutter.

3. Click Change/Remove and click Yes when asked if you want to

remove NewsCutter, and follow the instructions on the screen.

4. You should click No to any shared file statements that are sent to the

screen.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the Avid Codec and for AvidADI.
