Developer’s Description

By eEye Digital Security

Secure your PC with antivirus, intrusion prevention, firewall, and vulnerability scanning technology.

Designed for personal, student and home office use, Blink Personal Edition is the only solution that provides consumers with complete PC security. Blink Personal Edition is an internet security solution that protects users' systems and sensitive data from viruses, spyware, identity theft, malicious web sites, and other attacks that target system flaws and vulnerable system settings. Users can rest easy knowing that their system and sensitive data are secured by Blink's unique combination of proven protection technologies, including:

AntiVirus Module. - Protect against online threats using antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, and identity theft prevention technologies. Blink actively protects you using On-Access file scanning, stopping threats before they have a chance to embed themselves in your system. Additionally, Blink scans your computer files looking for viruses, Trojans, worms, keyloggers, backdoors, and spyware that could be putting your system and personal data at risk without your knowledge.

Intrusion Prevention System Module (IPS). - Stop known and unknown internet exploits and prevent zero-day vulnerabilities from compromising your system using Blink's IPS module. Using proactive technology, Blink can intelligently protect you from online threats and malicious exploits targeting third-party software vulnerabilities, even if no known vendor patches exist.

System Protection Module. - Prevent malicious programs from modifying crucial system files and registry settings by using Blink's System Protection Module. This module actively monitors key system components and recognizes malicious activity before it has time to compromise your system.

Personal Firewall Module. - A full-featured, personal firewall can help prevent exposing your system to network scanning and unsolicited traffic, especially if your system is not already located behind a SOHO hardware firewall. Create custom rules and exceptions to only allow the traffic you specify while keeping malicious traffic at bay.

Vulnerability Assessment Module. - Leveraging the power of eEye's award-winning Retina Vulnerability Scanner, the Vulnerability Assessment Module scans your system for unpatched software, missing Microsoft Security Patches, misconfigured system settings, and any other security holes that may make your system vulnerable to attack. Inline mitigation instructions for discovered vulnerabilities ensure users can apply the proper fixes to protect themselves.

Pros
Excellent all around protection, frequent antivirus updates, regular rules updates. All-inclusive suite, replaces all other security software, additional anti-spyware programs not required - this package will catch them all.
Cons
Loads large residual file into memory on startup therefore the more physical memory you have on your system the better (but does not slow down machine once loaded); virus scans can take long time. Seems to be for Windows only.
Summary
Multi-layered protection works excellent, nothing has infected me for the 2 years I have been using this product. It will simply not let any bad processes execute. Works great out of the box for average user but highly customisable with rules and detection criteria for the tech savvy. Have tried many other paid and free anti-malware programs, this is the only one I would pay for. And I am. Get this program if you want DOD-type protection.
Very Cool Software from eEye
cattbvMarch 19, 2011
Pros
Simple User Interface, Easy to Use, Can Help you huntdown exploites and Key Updates for software (2nd One to PSI)
Cons
Very Heavy On System Reasorces (100 Megabytes Of Ram) Heavy Setup (Less Heaveier Than Microsoft's SQL Server 2008 R2)
Summary
Very Powerful Software, Just Watchout not to have 2GB of Ram or Higher because this Software is a Ram Hog
Highly recommended Windows security software
johng5May 10, 2010
Pros
Effective and wide variety of security defenses - firewall, malware detection, vulnerability assessment and system intrusion prevention. Customizable and not resource intensive. Reputable - brings me peace of mind for system and network security.
Cons
I would appreciate additions such as popular software updating and network traffic monitoring.
Summary
Special pricing for up to 3 systems is icing on the cake for me. I rely on Blink to keep my home Windows systems secure, which also helps result in more reliability and efficiency of systems.
Protected me against the IE ZeroDay attack

Pros
I like that is unobtrusive yet full-featured if you dig deep enough. Oh, and it is nice how it takes care of those pesky malware attacks using Internet Explorer vulnerabilities.
Cons
Definitely for the more technically savvy users. You can get lost in the myriad of rules and configurations but the help manual can eventually get you out of there.
Summary
I've had a very pleasant experience using Blink Personal and I've recommended it to all my friends. It did not slow me down like other security products do and kept my computer free of trouble.
kicked Avast off my computer
Sophomoric_DreamerDecember 27, 2009
Pros
I installed it ant took it off 2 minutes later
Cons
Some how this got on my computer. Tech Tracker said it needed updated. It did not appear in my program list or my uninstall list. I could not find it in my downloads folder. I decided to download the up date and install it.
Summary
When I started the install it wanted to uninstall Avast and Malwarebytes. I use and like both. I then stopped the instillation and tried to find it and remove the instillation program but it was no ware to be found. I decided to remove Avast and Malwarebytes then install Blink and then remove it and then reinstall Avast and Malwarebytes. Good bye Blink.

Awful, Terrible. Please don't waste your valuable time
algx1212October 9, 2009
Pros
Firewall and AV ok. Price is right. I orginally started using this suite in 2007 and it worked fine back then
Cons
Had to remove after a bad data file locked 2 computers in race conditions. Took all day to fix it. I had to reconfigure both of my PC's, 1 was brand new. It disabled the Dell programs dock and support center on the new PC (on the 2nd day of owning).
Summary
It used to be very good. Now it's bad, and when it's bad, it's unbelievably bad.
I read the reviews. Everyone seems to like the product
kaluacrm1August 21, 2009
Pros
downloaded the product without issues ,ran fine, didn't have any problems
Cons
About one week,after downloading this product I was online browsing, my pc froze then went down. I mean nothing was there. had to do a full system recovery and that is something I don't want to have to do again
Summary
Pc probably ate something that disagreed with it.
Excellent product!
dynagirl--2008June 24, 2009
Pros
A complete security solution! Has vulnerability scanner, anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, and content control - all in one easy to manage application. It is one of the most comprehensive solutions available!
Cons
Fixing vulnerabilities can be difficult for a novice user. Fixes include editing the registry. Novice users may not know how to do this, or the risks associated with doing this, or how to make a backup (and restore) copy of the registry.
Summary
I have been using blink for about 3 years. I like its easy to use interface (I'm a computer security professional). I also like the granularity of the controls that I have over the application. I can rely on the defaults when I want, or I can tailor the application rules (firewall, for example) to meet my needs, or based on the attacks I am seeing. I also like the event logs. I have uncovered configuration issues with my ISP, being alerted by blink and validated using WireShark.
very good and easy to use
