Features - Malicous SoftwareRating Excellent

The Virus and Spyware protection added to eEye Digital Security’s Blink Professional is a nice supplement to your current antivirus and anti-malware program. With action settings that allow the program first option and choice on how to handle these items, it frees the end user from making sudden decisions on how to handle these rogue pieces of software. Additional settings allows for the customization of files ignore during a scan and quarantine folder size. This feature is also an excellent component that provides additional protection against viruses and spyware.

Vulnerability AssessmentRating Excellent

The vulnerability assessment scanner scans for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and any settings that may produce a security issue with your system. With eEye Digital Security’s Blink Professional, this scanning utility also gives registry tweaks that create a rock solid hardened system. These tweaks are often over looked or commonly ignored by other security vendors.

After scanning, the user can see each of these security deficiencies in a full comprehensive report. The number of findings is also listed on the main Blink screen, reminding the user to harden their system. This report is easy to understand with step by step instructions on how to correct these problems.
