Install MalwareBytes on a fresh machine and try to visit the website https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

Will complain that the site might contain a trojan.

I have received this report, but I don't known why. There are just some documents and the download files(same with here in release tab) in the website.

Maybe because the site uses http or that it has actually scanned the website server side and put on a blacklist because it contains software related to booting?

Now the website uses https and I removed the files (redirect to github release tab).

@ventoy Too bad, still gives the error message. Maybe sent them a support ticket?

the site is probabily on a blacklist because some antivirus detect that programs that were provenient from the site had "trojans" so a false positive leading to an automated preventive blacklist...

@ventoy Hi, I'm not using MalwareBytes anymore, using Windows Defender built into Windows 10 instead which isn't complaining. I recommend closing the issue. Thanks for following up.
