Screenshots and Logs

[SpecterShell]

Tencent.QQ, Tencent.TIM and Tencent.QiDian haven't been updated for years, as their installers are consistently marked as Potentially Unwanted Application by ESET (e.g., #378069). Unfortunately, this error couldn't be waived at the moment, even if it is false positive. I may remove these packages in the future.

Tencent.QQ.NT is unaffected. If you are seeking for the NT versions rather than the classic versions of QQ, please use Tencent.QQ.NT instead.

after some clicks, I found Tencent.QQ 's installer URL:

https://qqdl.gtimg.cn/qqfile/qq/PCQQ/PCQQ9.7.25/QQ9.7.25.29417.exe

So, there's no one maintaining this Tencent.QQ entry?

Maybe. Tencent recommend users to use the NT versions of QQ instead of original native versions.
