AVP was for a long time by far the best anti virus software on the market. I switched to AVast though a few years ago.

Afaik he is from either Romania or Bulgaria.. He tries to conceal his origins, since whenever there's a chance he slings mud at the West.
Yet in this case at hand, he has a point without making it....
There IS anti-russian media out there, just as much as there's anti-US, anti-UK, anti-German, anti-French. It's just a matter of how much for the various targets.
The difficulty for us people is to wade through all news reports and get a picture what goes on, and what's bullshit stories.
I found myself so puzzled about all the reports from Sochi, that I went into "defensive stance" and really started to look into whole heaps of various news sources from a whole array of countries. But the rule of thumb still holds water..... If in doubt, stick with Reuters and AP.
Those are only news agencies, around the block for well over 100 years, and limit themselves to publishing the bare news. Most news outlets basically buy the bare news from them, and use them for their stories.
That's for the written media...

You're kidding right? In terms of human rights and worker conditions you cant even compare Russia and China, it wasnt reported because it wasnt the goal, the West accepts China and is not trying to influence it not to damage the relationship between countries, since all the shit is made in China these days, so you wanna improve the human rights situation but you also want it not to cost you $$, the hypocrisy.
As for Sochi every little thing is reported and exaggerated only to bash Putin once again, and opinion being presented as facts.

I was on the verge of switching when they couldn't fix a certain performance problem related to web-browsing. When this year's subscription is expired again I will re-evaluate my choices again, since I got two PCs this is an important decision for me as well. I am using Avast for my mobile devices though, seems to work really well and I am happy about its performance.
