This is the official page of Ventoy. When there is an update to be made, we tend to go to this page.
Well this is the official GitHub of Ventoy, and it's less clicks to get the files. And the URL also doesn't change. I dunno, I like simplicity.

Looks like a very useful tool. I actually wanted to test it out, until I found a Virus alert. Here is the path to the file:

MediCat USB v21.03\MediCat Main Partition.zip.001->Backup_and_Restore/[UEFI]_EaseUS_Data_Recovery_Wizard_v13.6.wim->\Program Files\Easeus\DRW Advance Edition\_keygen.exe

That file is kinda suspicious to me.

Everything is a false-positive, due to how the portable apps are packaged. I wouldn't risk my reputation by distributing viruses to people. That's just silly.

False positives are possible. And it probably is one. I am more surprised of the nature of the file itself: Being a keygen. I hoped the tool compilation would contain tools, which are not in need of keygens to use them. Is it possible to get a version, where you actually only have tools which don't need keygens etc? Like.. a Medicat version full of freeware tools only?

The latest Hiren's Boot USB already offers that: https://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/

Used it for a while now (since v12 or 14 iirc) but never got around to thank you for releasing this little gem to the community, it's a very useful tool that needed very little to no modifications to comfortably use on my end and its clearly been made with care which I really appreciate!

cheers!

Here's a sneak-peek at the new MediCat theme for v21.05:

And here's the BIOS version:

Kicking it oldschool, with a subtle nod to Pride month.
