Blink AntiVirus Endpoint Protection - Personal Edition

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.
