Is wps.cn legit or a scam?
Legitimate office software with established business backing, but documented complaints about subscription billing practices and aggressive upsell tactics.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
WPS Office (wps.cn) is the official Chinese domain for Kingsoft Office, a real product operated by Zhuhai Kingsoft Office Software Co., Ltd., a publicly listed company on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Our antivirus network shows zero detections, SSL is valid, and the domain ranks in the global top-100k. Independent review aggregators and app stores give it ratings around 4.5–4.7 stars, praising its Microsoft Office compatibility and cloud collaboration features. However, the evidence package contains five substantiated user complaints across multiple platforms — Sina complaints, the official WPS forum, Google Play, and Facebook — all describing unauthorized subscription charges, difficulty cancelling, and aggressive upsell tactics. One Microsoft forum post compares the software's behavior to malware due to broad system permissions and an EULA claiming document ownership. These complaints reflect a pattern of aggressive monetization rather than outright fraud, but they represent real user harm. The site itself is not a phishing clone or credential harvester; it is the genuine product landing page.
