WPS Office behaves like a virus
WPS Office has a virus like behavior. It installs itself through a click of a link in an email sent to unsuspecting victims. I helped someone get rid of it, and it wasn't easy. It didn't only took over the system and made sure Microsoft Office can't be the default software opening Work, Excel etc., but it was also impossible to remove through usual methods. It was so aggressive, that after finally uninstalling it, it took many hours to restore the default office icons. All office files had white page like icons, because WPS changed the default path in the registry to icons for office files. Just like a virus would be designed. Oct. 13 update post WPS response: I have contacted support, and received almost a robotic response, as if everything I explained was completely overlooked. I'm a professional computer technician and can assure you I can delete a software in the standard fashion. My client received the following notification in their email (I spaced the link so it won't work): "Please check the attachment Shared from WPS Office: https:// kso. page. link/ wps" Clicking on the link caused WPS to install itself violently, and take over the defaults set by the user. Just like a virus would.
