== Controversial issues ==
This company has cooperation projects with Xunlei, a Chinese software program for peer to peer download.
Advertisements on Xunlei urges users to download Rising Antivirus and other related programs of the same company. By installing Xunlei and Rising softwares together, price discounts and a prolonged free trial period is given for Rising softwares.<ref>http://go.rising.com.cn/zb/xunlei/rav/buy.html</ref><ref>http://it.rising.com.cn/new2008/News/NewsInfo/2008-11-19/1227061855d50484.shtml</ref><ref>http://it.rising.com.cn/new2008/News/NewsInfo/2008-11-18/1226991711d50466.shtml</ref>
Its partner, Xunlei is a contraversial program for copyright infringement.<ref>http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/?id=382440</ref> Also, Rising Antivirus does not detect certain virus and trojan horses associated with Xunlei. One example is the ignorance of virus which comes with websites that www.gougou.com redirects. Note that www.gougou.com is under the Xunlei company. Suspected trojans bundled with the Xunlei software are also ignored by Rising Antivirus.

Hence, Rising Antivirus does not detect certain types of virus, problably deliberately. This means acute risk to the user's security over the internet.
