The article sez that an official was accused of accepting a bribe by Rising to frame a competitor. Rising of course sez not so. http://peek.snipr.com/zmrb8 Rising Denies Allegations It Framed Competitor - Chinese anti-virus vendor Rising has denounced allegations of corruption and anti-competitive behavior as false news spread by its rival Beijing Micropoint Technology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rising_AntiVirus It is one of China's largest anti-virus software companies, with over 500 employees and an estimated 50% Chinese home users (of more than 100 million computer users). -- Mike Easter
