  "The best all in one security product for Windows"

  by fraouf on February 27, 2009

  Pros: - Complete set of protection layers (intrusion prevention, anti-virus, anti-malware)
  - Only product I know that has vulnerability assessment scanning (wow!)
  - Just works. I never have to worry about it. Very stable.
  - eEye has great research team

  Cons: - It used to be unstable a year ago. Its been running fine since.
  - Product is designed for businesses, so consumer support will be limited

  Summary: I finally found a product that offers true protection from intrusion and viruses. I've been frustrated for years with bloated and ineffective anti-virus products that rely on virus signatures to protect me. Blink is a product developed by eEye. For ... read more >>

  "Great All-in-one Program and FREE for a year...."

  by anzatexan on January 4, 2009

  Pros: *Free for 1 whole year.
  *Does the work of several programs using less space and resources.
  *Alerts user when it finds a problem but solves the issue automatically.

  Cons: *May cause slow performance in computers with less RAM
  *Can be difficult to correct if someone mistakenly blocks a program from running
  *Requires VIsta SP1

  Summary: Overall, the program is great! I once disabled it and ended up with a worm in my computer. When I was able to restart my compute in normal mode, Blink found the worm and removed it. The Pros out number the cons. Try this product! It is free for a ye... read more >>

  "It is a nightmare"

  by pianodudepro on November 19, 2008

  Pros: It is secure

  Cons: It is TOO secure.

  Summary: I joined CNET just to warn you about how terrible this product is. I heard about it in a Security now webcast and decided to download it. It worked OK, until I decided to uninstall it. I went to the Add/Remove software, and tried to uninstall it. Vo... read more >>

  "Not Really Free, Despite the Internet Hype"

  by litarider on November 16, 2008

  Pros: It seems to work well. Theoretical free year of personal edition.

  Cons: Eeye hounds users to buy the personal edition within a couple weeks of install, just after you've got it working. Eeye disables protection, leaving users vulnerable and without notice of the vulnerability if you don't pay for protection.

  Summary: Eeye promises a year of free Blink personal edition. I spent about 2 weeks teaching it which programs were permitted access. Suddenly Eeye began asking for a key although I followed registration protocol when I initially downloaded and installed t... read more >>

  "A Great FREE security suite...BUT"

  by Smoaky on October 7, 2008

  Pros: What a great security suite. Easy install and set-up. Low on system resources.
  Fast scans and updates. Free version is good for one year with registration.

  Cons: I have installed this on both Intel and AMD systems. Woks fine with Intel PC's but, It DOES NOT like AMD based computers. Will cause lock-ups and overall a pain. Had to go into safe mode to uninstall from my AMD systems.
  Needs Vista SP1 installed

  Summary: I like this very much but will only work with Intel systems ( for me that is) and will only work with Vista if you have SP1 installed
  I don't like Service Pack 1 for Vista therefor I cannot give you a review for Vista.
  Eeye needs to inform... read more >>
