UPDATE: Eeye rolls out free PC security solution

Aliso Viejo (CA) - Eeye Digital Security today announced a free version of its Blink computer security software for personal use. The application gives users protection against identity theft, worms, trojans, and other possible hacks, in an "unobtrusive, integrated and deeply-layered" agent, the first of its kind to be offered for free, said Eeye.

Blink Personal, a non-commercial version of the Blink Professional software that the company first released in 1998, is compatible with Windows computers and combines a handful of security solutions, most of which can be found individually for free, into a single software suite.

"With Neighborhood Watch, the visibility of attacks reaches new levels that traditional honeypot technologies can't reach, as those systems are optimized for capturing self-replicating malware and attacks," said Ross Brown, Eeye's CEO.
