    hi,

    ive just updated my computer (macbook pro, tiger) with the latest version of flip4mac.

    during the opening of the installer, the OS warns me about flip4mac is checking if my computer is elligible or not.

    what is this?

    is this normal software practice? or is flip4mac is turning into a badware?

    is flip4mac still trustworthy?

    how many of you uses flip4mac? would you recommend anyone to use it?

    It just means that the application you're attempting to install needs to access some lower level files of the OS that might require admin authorisation. Nothing to be worried about.
