User Reviews

  paperclip55July 13, 2011

  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.

  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

  dexter92January 18, 2010

  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.
