driverbooster has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

  • In the ReleaseNotes element of the nuspec file a potentially invalid Url has been found. Recommendation is to fix this URL More...
Suggestions

Suggestions are either newly introduced items that will later become Guidelines or items that are don't carry enough weight to become a Guideline. Either way they should be considered. A package version can be approved without addressing Suggestion comments.

  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow more information related to the software. More... Please consider adding one or more of the following to the nuspec, if available:
    • docsUrl - points to the location of the wiki or docs of the software
    • mailingListUrl - points to the forum or email list group for the software
    • bugTrackerUrl - points to the location where issues and tickets can be accessed
    • projectSourceUrl - points to the location of the underlying software source

driverbooster has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/a9367a4441ad0220dc3fd3baa97f8a3c for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

driverbooster has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 6 and 10 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This package version cannot be approved without an exemption from a Moderator.

Windos (reviewer) on 03 Mar 2024 04:01:18 +00:00:

Please resolve these to allow this package to be approved:

  • A high VirusTotal detection score needs to be investigated, for example checking with the software author. Hopefully it is a false positive, but even open source software is not immune. eg. a 'supply chain' attack could compromise an otherwise innocent application. If the total remains in the range 6-10, then you will need to append a note to the description indicating why there are false positive results for this package.

Cheers,
Josh
Scanner Status Change - Virus Scanner has been set to rerun

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.
