Question regarding Hex-Editor edited profiles...

So, are there any profiles that were edited and should be avoided (should not be loaded into our KPA's)?
Just asking so we can be clear on the warning-post by MF (Guitardroid).
Is it a prob to to load such profiles into our KPA's? And if it is, how can we identify them?

The only profiles shared by Rafport were the Bogner Alchemist ones, IIRC...

Ok - so should we "unload" them?

this is a major "viral threat" for the KPA... :cursing: just edit the name of a profile and bring down all the KPAs that load this one. Kemper should make this safe... and in any case bring up an easy solution for user-friendly total restore of the KPA.

be sure to make a backup before importing new files in the future then... ;)

Yes. But since the profiles were used already - what's the damage now?

I think we need an official response for this!

And if the links to the hex-edited profiles are still up, they should be deleted from this forum.

Cool down, guys. I don't believe that those profiles are dangerous, I've download them, played with it a bit, didn't liked them (boxed) and delete them...and my unit still works....
It's not a virus that is replicating itself and infecting other profiles. This guy has edited (probably to quicker change the names) some of the profiles and load them back in his unit, just corrupted files....bad luck but nothing to panic about, IMHO.

Anyway a CRC check should be easy to implement.....
