Don't shoot the messenger. :o I'm not endorsing it.
BTW, there are excellent Chinese software products around, just as there is corrupt behaviour in people everywhere.

Well I don't trust it either but I recall it was actually kinda decent when some people were testing it @ Wilders (last year or so).

China, for example, has been known to produce its own trojan-infected version of Skype, leaving users exposed to interception, impersonation and surveillance

Rising isn't bad, especially if you're a sucker for interface. But last time i tried it it had so many false positives that i removed it right away and went back to avast! (as i always do in the end). But i test other programs almost weekly...

I strongly suspect they're mainly trying to resurrect their fallen image.

I can't even see why you are posting this advert for another Av on the official avast support forums, who are paying for the provision of this forum.
