| With the new year rapidly approaching I have begun to | | | | I have found one company that seems to be on top |
| take a hard look at the security software I've been | | | | of things and it looks as though their Computer |
| making use of on my home computer. I ran a | | | | Security do pack that "all in one punch" I've been |
| Vulnerability Assessment about a week ago and I was | | | | looking for. This company eEye, even offers a Free |
| surprised to find that my computer and even my home | | | | Antivirus Software program through their website, call |
| network where vulnerable to many of the threats I had | | | | Blink Personal Edition. I've since downloaded the |
| believed I was safe from. | | | | program but only had a few minutes to toy with it |
| So as I stated I have begun to seriously consider | | | | before head to the office. From what I've see though |
| some type of new Desktop Security software. | | | | thus far Blink actually does what it claims, which is |
| Though my primary computer is used primarily as a for | | | | more than I can say for some of the other programs |
| recreation and casual internet browsing I also use two | | | | I've sampled or looked over. |
| my three computers for a small home business I have | | | | Intrusion prevention is a big deal for me and from what |
| been running for about two years. That said with both | | | | I can tell Blink has it in spades. I configured the intrusion |
| my kids safety as well as my customers personal | | | | options and gave it a quick test run, going to websites |
| contact information at stake and vulnerable I want to | | | | that well lets just say aren't the type of sites anyone |
| be certain that I have the best in Network Security. | | | | should visit as they are packed with viruses, and |
| I have been performing quite a bit of Security | | | | spyware just waiting to overthrow your operating |
| Research over the past six days or so however the | | | | system and destroy what's left of your resources. |
| results I'm finding don't look to promising. From what I've | | | | The PC Protection Blink delivered during this test run |
| seen most PC Security applications come packed only | | | | where fantastic. Only a minuscule amount of infections |
| with part of the solution I'm looking for and will often | | | | had made it past the program and to be honest I don't |
| require a second or third purchase made up of | | | | know that they were actually threats and may have |
| add-ons that complete the software. This has been | | | | been normal functions that Blink detected and flagged. |
| most frustrating as I've been running numerous | | | | If after I conclude my research Blink is the best out |
| antivirus applications for several years now and even | | | | there I will likely upgrade it to the Professional edition |
| with all of those running I typically see plenty of | | | | for the fair price of $59.00 per asset. This is by far |

| What I've also noticed is that whether or not the | | | | version, trial or otherwise. There are three other |
| programs I'm interested in really deliver solid security | | | | vendors remaining on my list of possible purchase |
| they all seem to be over priced. For what they actually | | | | candidates and once I test their wares out I will make |
| offer I've been taken aback by some of the price tags | | | | my decision but I have a feeling Blink is going to be |

| people stick with what they know or where originally | | | | Software should at least consider Blink as an |
