MS Office on google and many sites for £10-£25

So the Wowcher site, likely to be genuine……?

But is there a risk that these are not genuine licences at this low cost?

It is always a risk, but you will find out the moment you try to activate it. I had (incorrectly) assumed that you were referring to the subscription based version of Office 365.

No. But I do believe that they should be obliged not to write software which is so shtty that it is easily compromised.

I am not a MS fanboi, but, in time all software might be compromised. The more popular the software, the more likely it is that someone will try to hack it. For many years Apple was fortunate to dodge hacks through a principle called security through obscurity- why bother hacking an OS that hardly anyone uses? No operating system that has in internet access is "safe". Windows, MacOS, Linux, they are all hackable.

Bear in mind I'm talking about applications, which ought to be running only in the least privileged level.
