Nearly 50 percent of all the received complaints were related to Microsoft Office applications. Second in the list was Internet browser apps as about a quarter of complaints received were about the web browsers.
Android apps made up about 20 percent of the complaints in the report. Whereas, Java (5.5%) and Adobe Flash Player (2.5%) was also in the list.
