Looking for Powerful PC Protection?
If you're looking for a well organized and intuitive management
interface that's easy to use, doesn't slow or weight down your PC and seamlessly
integrates numerous components of PC protection into a comprehensive yet
manageable desktop security software product, you'll want to read this article.
Most computer
users have only a vague understanding of what PC protection really means. Terms
such as malicious code, pharming, spamming, spyware, flooding, DNS spoofing,
buffer overflows and a slew of other terms bewilder and stupefy the masses.
Today most computers come preloaded with security software claiming protection
against viruses, identity theft and a host of other security issues. But for the
average computer user, these programs offer little more than a false sense of
security.
The old saying, "what you don't know, won't hurt you," does not apply to the
world of internet security. Daily victims fall prey to identity theft, spyware,
botnet schemes, viruses and unknown malware. The bigger issue is not so much
that people are ignorant to these threats, but the security programs that claim
protection fall short when it comes to complete PC protection.
If you're looking for comprehensive PC security that is user friendly, take a
look at Blink® made by eEye Digital Security. Blink has won a number of awards
recently making it one of the top rated endpoint security products. Since Blink
is made by the company that brought vulnerability research to the forefront of
the computer industry, it is no surprise the number of threats, vulnerabilities
and types of internet attacks that are stopped by Blink's security technology.
As reported in Information Security last month, Blink is the "clear leader in
identifying client-side attacks." The problem with most security programs is
that in order to block an attack, virus or threat, it has to be known and
programmed to look for that specific threat. What's unique with Blink's
protection, is that it protects based on the classes of attacks as well as
specific attack identifiers. This approach allows computers to be protected from
known attacks in addition to providing PC protection from unknown malware and
zero-day attacks. Zero-day attacks prove to be some of the more critical threats
to enterprises, as they prelude patches or fixes. According to the Information
Security review, Blink was the only product that successfully defended all the
zero-day exploits of third-party applications, while companies such as IBM’s ISS,
Sophos, McAfee, Trend Micro, and Symantec "allowed zero-day attacks."
Blink is available as a free product, downloadable via eEye's website. The free
version provides significant PC protection and offers antivirus plus antispyware
technology, online identity protection, built-in firewall protection, missing
patch protection, unauthorized activity protection, automatic updated PC
protection, shields computer settings all the while offering improved computer
performance. The lightweight security agent enables ultimate protection without
slowing down processing or connection speeds. Users can also upgrade to even
more robust versions of Blink, ideal for home networks or corporate offices.
Blink Professional offers integrated endpoint security plus comprehensive
host-based intrusion prevention. Blink's layered approach to PC security,
includes a copy of eEye's comprehensive Retina security scanner, designed to
search for and discover several hundred security flaws as well as propose fixes.
If you're looking for a well organized and intuitive management interface that's
easy to use, doesn't slow or weight down your PC and seamlessly integrates
numerous components of PC protection into a comprehensive yet manageable desktop
security software product, than head over to eEye.com and checkout Blink. The
