A guy that I work with has been playing with this as well. He actually spoke with "Rob" today over at Sunncomm tech support. Twice.
If you have a message from Rob before today regarding the support of this software, you will need to check again, as Rob now has new information:
Here is the detail:
Tiger "broke" the installation of the MediaMax software, and the devs are working to fix this.
This is not the same thing as saying the software does not work under Tiger.
But, the software does not work under Tiger. I don't see how that is different.
The intention was that it was to work under OS X, but now with Tiger it does not. The MediaMaxx software does a partial and incomplete installation. This would imply that the software would work under Panther, but I have not had the chance to check that out.
The "fix" to remove the software will not work, because the original software installation was incomplete.
Removing all visible components of the software does not fix the problem. A component or setting still exists such that whenever a CD with Mediamax is put into the system, OS X tries to execute START.APP on the CD.
William is waiting on either a working version of the software for Tiger that will install and then be correctly removed by the tool, or a patch that will remove this "alternate" functionality of the installation.
So, the software that doesn't work, but you installed anyway, hosed the system. What a surprise.
Whatever the case, this is a piece of malware. It is targeted at OS X, and it is in the wild.
Not by any definition of malware that I know. This is legitimate software from a known source that doesn't work.
Earlier someone referenced that it was publically posted that Mediamax did not support 10.4. Could you provide a link? The only stuff I can find is that it works on Mac. No specific versions are listed as supported or not supported.
It is on the Sunncomm web site.
By the way, where is the new information that you said he had? .
