Forgot to say THANKS Doug.

That is odd I've been using v4.1 for awhile now?

Yes, a beta version.
There are risks running beta version.
I was afraid I might tie up my units, so never did try.
And then I might have to send in my unit to undo.
And I don't think this is covered under warranty.
So Deus owners beware of beta versions.


This is the real McCoy a coming.

Interesting. When I got it the only reason I installed it, and it didn't say anything about being V4.1b, the site said that the testers of V4.1b felt it was ready for release and had a link to what I got. The only reason I installed it was it looked like it was the final excepted V4.1

Well,
I think the only place folks should be trusting for FINAL the real deal version updates is downloading from XP site's ONLY.

Now, I have posted about this what I am about to say previously on at least one other forum.

Some what IFs.

What if a beta version was hacked and was used.
And the hack job was designed to infact tie up Deus.

I don't even like to see folks provide links to sites where version updates are at.
Why?
Could a link be messed with, where a person is sent to a site where a hacked version awaits?

So, I think it is a good idea.
When referring folks to site or talking about downloading version updates, best to just refer folks to manufacturers site.

Fake sites, do they exist??? Or a fake link??
We know they do.

I'll give folks one guess who sent me a pm not here but somewhere else bitching me out for posting this info.

But cyber warfare is happening.

Better to be safer than sorry.

I won't divulge the person's name.
Unimportant really.

I agree. I did get this update from the XP site.

Looking at my downloads I got it on the 25th from xpmetaldetectors.com


For the record, IF the beta was to get "hacked" and Minelab didn't catch it it would say a lot about Minelab's programmers. All files have a CRC number (cyclic redundancy check) that is given out by any responsible software vendor to testers. It basically will tell them if the program/file has been altered in any way. If a file fails the CRC then don't touch it.

looking forward to downloading 4.1
