1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

choco upgrade kindle -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.11.2'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
