# Chocolatey Automatic Uninstaller cannot silently uninstall WeChat because the installation does not create a QuietUninstallString value in the Windows Registry.
# Because of this, this file takes the UninstallString and appends a /S argument to make the uninstallation silent.
# This directory contains a file .skipAutoUninstall to tell Chocolatey to skip the automatic uninstaller https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/1257

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.

Tencent does not publish release notes for WeChat for Windows.
The official installer is named WeChatSetup.exe; every new version of the installer has the same file name, which invalidates older versions of the WeChat Chocolatey package.
The WeChat Installer differs from location to location. When installing this package, if your system downloads a variant of the installer with an unknown checksum, the installation fails with a message, "Error - hashes do not match. Actual value was --Hash--".
Please report this error to the package maintainer. The maintainer will use a VPN to try to download that same variant and thus verify that this is an official installer. The hash is added to the package only if it passes this verification.
The WeChat installer has a version number that is different from that of WeChat itself. The Chocolatey package tries to conform to the WeChat version. Sometimes, the package version may differ in the revision number when a newly discovered variant of the installer needs to be added to the package. For example, package version 3.4.0.39 is not an official version from Tencent. Instead, it provides Tencent's version 3.4.0.38 in two known variants of the installer.
This package has no dependencies.

wechat 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.
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.

wechat has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/8566fabb9e80b5c2527ec86d7864cfdd for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

wechat 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 1 and 5 VirusTotal detections associated with it
This is not enough detections to prevent the approval of this package version.
