This driver is WHQL signed

Select to indicate whether the device driver is signed by the Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). For device drivers that pass the WHQL tests, Microsoft creates a digitally signed certification file that allows installation on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista and prevents 32-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista and all versions of Windows XP from displaying a warning message that the driver has not been certified by Microsoft.

If the check box is:

·     Selected, the device driver has been signed by the WHQL

·     Cleared, the device driver has not been signed by the WHQL
