Comments and Reviews

Comment summary: MediCat USB receives praise for being a comprehensive multi-purpose toolkit, often compared favorably to Hiren's Boot CD. Users appreciate its regular updates and ease of customization. However, some users report difficulties in downloading and note concerns about virus detections. The software is noted for its simplicity in adding additional tools and its ability to work with both UEFI and BIOS. A segment of users is interested in accessing its source code, which is not readily available.

Really useful, easy to use and, it's still a Ventoy thumbdrive so you can always add extra ISOs.

😃Bitdefender ate half of the toolkit 😄 MS defender ate only the installer and Nirsoft packages 🙃Unacceptable, it's filled with trojans besides cracks and hack tools :) The website is not optimized 10MB of images 🙃 File optimizer can compress PNGs 20% more. Squoosh app can compress into WEBP lossless or lossy, lossy AVIF is even more compressed.
