Installed What was Kingsoft / WPS on lots of customers computers as well as my own and no signs of malware, browser hijacks or any other type of unwanted "extra". Not my personal experience, but a person who had downloaded the problem, who I was trying to help. Ended up having to get Revo onto it, and Nod 32 plus AdWcleaner. You name it, I threw all the big guns at it that I could. Had to give up in the end and pass the problem onto someone else. He then had to do a complete reinstall of their OS and in the process lost all of their files etc! Arrgh , what a nightmare, and then she blamed me! LL	lakewoodlady (103)

LL My educated guess is there was an underlying problem & cause. Some people who search for software get it from non legit locations and install all sorts of rubbish. WPS only has two options when installing to tick /untick 1. Liecence Agreement & 2. Join their Community. Any Others and its a fake installer. "IF" they have added any thing it will have only been recent, - See link below. Heres a result / test from October last year - 29 Different AV's all tested as clean kingsoft-office-free.en.lo4d.com Having to reinstall a OS and losing data ?? Not very knowable then, had some OS's that were completely unbootable and still easy enough to save /recover data. helps if you know how to do things Off Topic but relating to above in bold - Today, at a guys place to collect his (windows10) Computer, apparently some other Computer tech said his computer was locked and had to be reinstalled, but he didn't have a W10 DVD :confused: . While the guy made a cuppa I removed the password. The guy was gobsmacked at how easy I bypassed it :eek: Thus not needing a reinstall.	wainuitech (129)
1430713	2017-01-16 07:57:00	I have recently shifted from Open/Libre office to Free office by Softmaker. For details see www.freeoffice.com It is considerably faster to load and offers better compatibility with MS office than Open/Libre. The con is that it is not as fully featured, but is more than adequate for small business or home office use.	tutaenui (1724)
1430714	2017-01-16 20:34:00	As an aside, it is impressive how many free and capable alternatives there are to MS Office. Huge numbers of people can save themselves money by using them. However, I suspect that a lot of people get upsold MS Office as part of a new computer deal. The cost of ignorance!	linw (53)
