IMPORTANT

This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.

  • Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
  • This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
  • You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
  • There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
WARNING

There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.

systeminformer 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 Description element of the nuspec file a potentially invalid Url has been found. Recommendation is to fix this URL More...
  • Release Notes (releaseNotes) are a short description of changes in each version of a package. Please include releasenotes in the nuspec. NOTE: To prevent the need to continually update this field, providing a URL to an external list of Release Notes is perfectly acceptable. More...

systeminformer has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.

systeminformer 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.

gep13 (reviewer) on 19 May 2025 06:44:26 +00:00:

Thank you for your package submission!

A couple questions before we can move forward with moderation.

The exe associated with this package has tripped a higher than normal number of detections in VirusTotal. Are there any known issues with this application with regards to number of detections? These could be false positives, and something which is already known by the application developers. Is there any public discussions happening about this? If so, can you update the description of this package to include that information? That way people can check on this, before installing the package.

Also, have you tested to see whether Chocolatey's auto uninstaller works with this application? It could be that the chocolateyUninstall.ps1 file is not needed here.

Thanks!

wanwan (maintainer) on 19 May 2025 07:26:22 +00:00:

Dear gep13,

Thanks for reviewing out the package I've pushed. I'll answer the 2 questions you asked as follows:

  1. The .exe file associated with this package is a developer's own installer, it is not one of the popular installers so it maybe has false positive.
  2. I tested the package with the auto-uninstall feature, but it failed to launch the silent installer.

Thank you!

flcdrg (reviewer) on 21 May 2025 11:33:48 +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 5-10, then you will need to append a note to the description pointing to an official source (such as a GitHub issue with an official response, blog post, wiki page etc.) indicating why there are false positive results for this package.

thanks,
David

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.
