What does it do? If this is true we should really alert LiLi, because they put out a solid product and I’m sure this is a mistake.

Immunet is pretty decent.
It’s a “cloud based community driven” AV tool which benefits of ClamAV as an offline engine [sort of backup engine]. Basically you get the benefits of the cloud (like Panda Cloud Antivirus) and the insurance of ClamAV (regular updates, offline scanning).

You should give it a try.

I can’t see a way to do this with LiLi, but it is a pretty young project. I suggest you leave them some feedback on their site, but for now stick with uNetBootin.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s a false positive. And I’ve never heard of Immunet; is it any good?

It’s a very nice app but I cant make it work.

The installed system (Ubuntu) boots when I run the virtual version inside Windows but when I boot from the key it just displays a single line of text on a black screen and then nothing happens. It might be looking for some essential files on the internal hd and not on the usb. This happens when I run Puppy Linux from (a different) usb; I have to enter “pmedia=usbflash” otherwise it only searches the internal hd for the necessary files. (I used Unetbootin to create the Puppy usb as it didn’t have to be persistent.)

Unfortunately it’s not possible to enter something similar when the usb is created with Lili, it doesn’t even return an error message.

Or is it?

The official LiLu download is clean (http://cl.ly/3T1t0X0p0s2K0A2O2r0T)

If you tried uNetBootin there is a chance that some AV tools detect a Trojan or something because of the install mechanism. If you think it’s a false-positive you should contact Immunet about it.

According to Immunet, you also get a free VIRUS with the download.
